SUMMARY:Kirkby Lonsdale Brass Band Competition
DESCRIPTION:The annual Kirkby Lonsdale Brass Band Contest is being held on Sunday 15 June in the Market Square and continues a tradition that began in 1988 when the band first organised an open air contest which attracted bands from across the North of England. \nThis year’s event begins at 10:30am when the 4 junior bands which are taking part each play a 15- minute programme of music. There is then a short break before the senior bands play\, starting at 12:30pm. \nThis year\, there are 7 bands competing – our own town band along with Pilling\, Burneside\, Lancaster\, Clockface (St. Helens)\, Eccleston and Giggleswick & Settle brass bands. The competing bands march from Beck Head\, along Market Street and Main Street to the town square. After setting up in the square\, each band plays a 20- minute programme of music\, usually containing a march\, an arrangement of a hymn and a selection of other music they have chosen to show off the skills and musicianship of both the band as a whole and individual instrumentalists. \nBands are marked on their deportment whilst marching (but the piece of music they are marching to is not judged) and on their playing in the square. The adjudicator is a well-known authority on band music\, and this year we are very pleased to welcome Matthew Ryan\, who is a member of the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators and Musical Director of Wingates Brass Band\, to this role. \nTo close the contest\, after all the competing bands have played but before the results are announced at around 5pm\, the massed bands play marches and hymns\, conducted by the musical director of one of the competing bands. \nIn addition to the afternoon’s music\, a raffle will also be held during the contest\, with prizes very kindly donated by local businesses\, organisations and individuals. The band would like to thank everyone for their generosity in supporting the band in this way – it is greatly appreciated. \nThis is a very enjoyable\, entertaining and free event\, so we would love to see a big audience gathered in the square to listen to a varied programme of brass band music. \nFor the latest information please visit the Kirkby Lonsdale Brass Band Facebook.

SUMMARY:Wray Scarecrow Festival
DESCRIPTION:The longest-running Scarecrow Festival in the UK (we believe)\, is back for 2025. This year the theme is ‘Circus’ and all activities for the 10 day festival revolve around this\, culminating in the Wray Fair on Bank Holiday Monday\, 5th May. \nOnce again there are a variety of events taking place including 10k road race\, giant scarecrow parade\, car boot\, fell race\, local history walks and not forgetting the Wray Fair with entertainment and fun for all the family and\, of course\, lots of scarecrows! \nThe Festival began in 1992\, inspired by a similar event in France. It is organised each year by the ‘Scarecrow Committee’\, a small but dedicated band of local volunteers. The committee is supported by a much larger team of people who help with activities such as litter-picking\, ice-cream selling\, car parking\, programme selling\, bunting and marquee erecting\, etc. \nProgramme\nWray Scarecrow 10k Road Race\n1.15pm\, Saturday 26 April\nWray Village Hall\nFantastical Quests\n3pm\, Saturday 26 April\nMethodist Hall\, Kirkby Lonsdale\nCar Boot & Collectibles Sale\n8am\, Sunday 27 April\nWray School Field\nFell Race\n7pm\, Tuesday 29 April\nBridge End Farm Tea Rooms\, Wray\n\nLocal History Walks\n11am & 2pm\, Saturday 3 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nGiant Scarecrow Parade\n5pm\, Saturday 3 May\nWray Village\nLocal History Walks\n11am & 2pm\, Sunday 4 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nWray Fair\n10.45am\, Monday 5 May\nSchool Fields\, Wray\nLocal History Walks\n11am\, Monday 5 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nKeep up to date at wrayscarecrows.wordpress.com
