Yarwell & Nassington Britannia Band

Kettering Arts Centre Proudly Presents...

An exciting concert programme of popular music from both films & shows. Tunes familiar to everyone.

Every year Yarwell & Nassington Britannia Band thrills audiences across the region, from village fetes to beer festivals, with its diverse range and enthusiastic approach to making music. A quintessentially British tradition!

The band traces back to the early 19th century and claims to be one of the oldest bands in the country. The limited history of Yarwell & Nassington Britannia Band marks a performance at Elton Station (on the Nene Valley line between Peterborough and Northampton) to mark the homecoming of local soldiers returning from the Crimea War.

The present-day band comprises musicians of all ages, performing in a range of settings, proudly representing the two villages as part of the social fabric of the communities.
