Bandstand concerts
The 2011 programme is now available.
In July 1997 after years of fund raising and a National Lottery Grant for £63,500, the Bandstand,which was designed by Peter Fenton, a well known local architect, was opened. The Bandstand also boasts decorative security screens made by local wrought ironsmith James Godbold who has a forge in the village of Egton, North Yorkshire. Every year free band concerts are held between May and September. Volunteers from the Saltburn 500 Club work hard to raise money to maintain the bandstand and organise the concerts with support from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council.

Dear friends, visitors and patrons, the Saltburn 500 Club takes great pleasure in welcoming you to another season of Band Concerts, made possible by your generosity in the collections that were taken at last years concerts.
The 14th season of Saltburn Bandstand summer concerts commences Sunday, May 1st at 2.30 to 4.00pm and Saturday, June 4th at 6.30 to 8.00pm. If anyone who enjoys attending the concerts is prepared to assist in collecting sometimes please get in touch with the organisers. You will be shown what to do by experienced collectors. Contact 01287 624046. The Saltburn concerts, which were recently named runners-up in the "best event" category of the 2008 Culture Awards, run by The Journal, are held in the Emmanuel Church if the weather is bad.

Can you help?
A license is now required to hold concerts at the bandstand. A condition of this licence is that two or three people with appropriate Health and Safety training will be required to act as stewards at every concert. This is in case there is an emergency and the Bandstand needs to be evacuated. Will anyone with the appropriate qualification act as a steward at the concerts? Or is there anyone willing to undergo training? Please contact 01287 624046 if you can help. Thank you.
