WITH thoughts of lazy days and warm sunshine ahead of you in 2012, Lancaster City Council is launching its annual programme of Sunday brass band concerts in Morecambe’s Happy Mount Park.
The concerts are as popular today as they were when they were first established, and regularly attract audiences of around 200 people from across the region.
This year’s programme starts on 29 April, with Morecambe's very own award-winning brass band. The series then continues every Sunday, up to and including 9 September.
Over the course of the season, the series will feature the very best of brass, drawn from across the North West. The concerts start at 2.30pm and are free of charge, but donations are welcome.
Situated at the east end of Morecambe’s promenade, Happy Mount Park provides a perfect setting for the concerts and is proud of its reputation of offering attractions for all ages.
Seating is not provided, but members of the public might wish to take along their own picnic style chair or, alternatively, hire a deck chair at the park.
The full programme will be available early 2012.
For more information contact the Visitor Information Centres in Morecambe or Lancaster (01524 582808 / 582394).
As well as enjoying the music, visitors can take a stroll in the attractive parkland setting, sample the delights of the varied menu at the Café in the Park or try one of the park’s other attractions, such as the Splash Park or the recently opened adventure play park.
Watch out for more events taking place in Happy Mount Park during 2012. Details will be released soon.
