Pershore ready for sunshine and bands

The Pershore Festival of Brass is getting ready to welcome the sun as well as the bands and the crowds this weekend.

Perhsore Abbery
 

The days leading up to this weekend’s Pershore Midsummer Brass Festival has seen the organising committee anxiously tapping barometers, checking mobile phone weather apps and scanning local weather reports to try and ensure that the sun will shine on their popular event once more.

Omens good

Thankfully the omens for the weekend look great, with fine weather promised by the Met Office.

After all the hard work put in by the organisers, all that is needed to make it a perfect day in Pershore is for the big yellow globe of happiness to show its face, as it will enable hundreds of people to enjoy a feast of great brass band music making.

Hard work

Work has been going on at the local Baptist Church, Pershore Abbey (above) and Chapman Court, as well as at the Angel Inn, where the festival kicks off with a free concert on Friday night.

Wonderful day

Saturday promises to be a wonderful day of entertainment so why not get along and enjoy the music making amid some pretty impressive surroundings.
