Durham Brass Festival

Taking inspiration from the brass band heritage of Durham and celebrating brass music in all its forms, Durham Brass Festival brings together all musical genres into a nine-day festival taking place across County Durham.

In recent years, the festival has included headline contemporary performances involving brass, across iconic locations, from UK and international artists including Richard Hawley, LYR and Fat Freddy’s Drop.

As well as boosting the economy and raising Durham’s reputation as a cultural destination, the festival hosts outdoor performances with eclectic and exciting street bands, as well as an outreach programme including community workshops, and free concerts in schools, communities and care homes across the county.
