Several bands taking part in the Championship Section of the Bolsover Festival of Brass this weekend will not only have one eye on the title, but also on the 2024 British Open Spring Festival.

The highest placed qualifying band will head to Blackpool next May and will need to get their hotel accommodation booked.
