Get to see Grimey for less than a tenner

If you want to see Brass in Concert champion Grimethorpe Colliery in action next month then you can at a great price thanks to the First Art Go See Scheme.

Grimethorpe
 

There is still a chance to hear Grimethorpe Colliery Band in brilliant concert action in Shirebrook next month — with special discounted local tickets available thanks to the 'First Art Go See' scheme.

Exciting event

'First Art Go See' aims to stimulate interest in the arts amongst people in their local area, by offering opportunities to experience inspiring art that they might not otherwise access — and the up-coming concert by the Brass in Concert champion is one such exciting event.

Grimethorpe is performing at Shirebrook Leisure Centre on Saturday 11th July (commencing 7.30pm) with a programme featuring music from the 'Brassed Off' film.

Normal ticket prices are adult tickets £12 and £10 concessions (OAP and under 16).

Discounted tickets

However, residents living within Bolsover, North East Derbyshire, Ashfield and Mansfield districts who sign up to the First Art website can apply for tickets discounted to £9 adult tickets and £7 concessions (OAP and under 16).
