Bandstand concerts

Saltburn bandstand.

In July 1997 after years of fund raising and a National Lottery Grant for £63,500, the Bandstand, which was designed by Peter Fenton, a well known local architect, was opened. The Bandstand also boasts decorative security screens made by local wrought ironsmith James Godbold who has a forge in the village of Egton, North Yorkshire. Every year free band concerts are held between May and September. Volunteers from the Saltburn 500 Club work hard to raise money to maintain the bandstand and organise the concerts with support from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council.

Bandstand Concerts 2024.

Made with Padlet

Dear friends, visitors and patrons, the Saltburn 500 Club takes great pleasure in welcoming you to another season of Band Concerts, made possible by your generosity in the collections that were taken at previous concerts.

The summer season of Saltburn Bandstand concerts have recommenced. Inevitably, the cost of providing these concerts increases year on year. The 500Club have to rely heavily on your help so it is hoped that you will continue to contribute as generously as possible to enable the funding of a full programme. If anyone who enjoys attending the concerts is prepared to assist in collecting sometimes please get in touch with the organisers. You will be shown what to do by experienced collectors. Contact trevor.welburn@btinternet.com The Saltburn concerts, which were named runners-up in the "best event" category of the 2008 Culture Awards, run by The Journal, will, where possible, be held in another venue on Saturdays and Emmanuel Church on Sundays if the weather is bad.

Can you help?

A license is now required to hold concerts at the bandstand. A condition of this licence is that two or three people with appropriate Health and Safety training will be required to act as stewards at every concert. This is in case there is an emergency and the Bandstand needs to be evacuated. Will anyone with the appropriate qualification act as a steward at the concerts? Or is there anyone willing to undergo training? Please contact trevor.welburn@btinternet.com if you can help. Thank you.
