Thrapston Town Band is a sociable and friendly brass band based in Thrapston, East Northamptonshire, near Kettering and Corby. We are currently the Third Section Champion Band in the Midlands.

We’re a busy band, and perform concerts across the East Midlands and UK, and are especially active in Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire. We are also available for fetes, fairs and charitable events.

The band also enjoys contesting. In 2023, we won the Fourth Section of the Midlands Regional Brass Band Championships, going on to represent the Midlands at the National Finals in Cheltenham, where we placed 9th.

The band was promoted to the Third Section in January 2024, and in March, won the Third Section of the Midlands Regional Finals at first time of asking – a unique achievement for a Midlands band that we are incredibly proud of. Again, the band represented the Midlands at the National Finals.

We trace our origins back to the earliest days of the brass band movement in 1850’s England, and continue to serve the community of Thrapston and the surrounding area today. We have an ethos of making music and brass playing accessible to people of all ages through our weekly tuition programme.

We rehearse every Monday and Thursday 7.30 to 9.30pm. Our current rehearsal room is in the village of Ringstead – just a few miles from Thrapston and J13 of the A14.
