Reeth Brass Band consists of around 30 players who meet to practice every Tuesday evening in Reeth Memorial Hall. If you play a brass instrument or you're learning to play, then please come along.

Quite a number of our players have only taken up playing a brass instrument in recent years. The only requirement is to be able to read music and to be enthusiastic!

Most of the band members live in or around Reeth. Some come from as far away as Ripon, but most live in the dales and nearby villages.
