Superb venue

The wonderful Nouveau de Siecle Hall will provide a superb, compact auditorium right in the heart of a lovely city which is easily reached by all forms of transport — especially the Eurostar train.

There is a wide variety of hotels close to the venue whilst the city (above) itself offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of things to tickle the fancy in between the many brass band events.
