The Brass Band Conference 2025: The Next Generation

The Brass Band Conference is the biggest learning and sharing event in the brass banding calendar. The 2025 conference will take place on Saturday 27 September 2025 at Redhills, the Durham Miners’ Association Hall in Durham city centre. Demonstrating BBE’s dedication to the future of the brass banding sector, the 2025 theme will be ‘The Next Generation.’

The Future We Build

The Redhills: Durham Miners’ Hall is currently undergoing a period of re-development, reopening to the public in Spring 2025. The National Heritage Fund project will see the building transformed into a centre for culture, heritage and education to celebrate the past that we inherit and the future we build. The new facilities on offer and the shared heritage of the space, make it the ideal venue for next years’ conference.

Save the date

As in previous years, an open call for contributors for the conference will open in January 2025, with tickets going on sale in May. Register for BBE events and news to be notified.
