The advice is to take along a chair as the tables are expected to fill up quickly.

Expect a wide range of music, with tunes to suit all.

Donations will be invited in aid of band charities during the evening.

On Sunday, June 15, the band presented an Afternoon of Music in the Square, which was greatly enjoyed by those who went along.

Crediton Town Band is a great asset to the town and area, it is a non-contesting brass band which concentrates on playing concerts and community events throughout the year.
