We are excited to once again hold the 2026 Wind Band Festival in the Ilkley area at the Mercure Bradford Bankfield, a venue that allows us to offer a greater number of places.
Following feedback from last year we are making a few adjustments:
We will base the Festival on a combination of Massed Band and, subject to bookings, two equalstandard bands – there will be no sectionals;
We are refreshing the evening entertainment. We will not be doing fancy dress. Instead we will be introducing some new ideas that allow our attendees to socialise, make new friends and relax.
