Harrogate International Conference Centre Booking the Harrogate Band Room
National Championships Finals, Harrogate 2004


The Harrogate Band is please to offer its band room (and a second room) to bands competing in the Finals on the weekend of 10/11/12 September 2004. The table below indicates the times the band room may be booked, at the rate of £20 per session. In the first instance a maximum of two sessions per band will be accepted - on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested, please email or telephone me to reserve your choice of sessions. Each session is 1½ hours allowing a good hour for rehearsal with time either side to set up and pack up.

If our room is not available for the dates/times you wish, we will be issuing a list of alterative venues in Harrogate and the district, with contact details that, hopefully, you will find useful. This will be issued in June.

In addition we have hired another room (Room 2, below) to provide a similar "managed" location for visiting bands – the facilities available there will not match our band room, but we hope to be able to provide more facilities than an empty room!

Our bandroom is a good size and easily accommodates a band with full percussion. Our percussion, including pedal timpani, tam-tam, tubular bells, xylophone, glockenspiel and vibraphone, are available for use. There is space for supporters with coffee/tea and soft drinks. There is access for disabled persons to the bandroom. Full details and instructions will be provided once bookings are confirmed.

As the "home" band we wish all bands the very best of luck. If there are ways we can help to make your visit to Harrogate more enjoyable, successful and productive, please let me know. Members of The Harrogate Band will be pleased to assist, either before the event or during your stay - and if we cannot, I am sure we can put you in touch with someone who can!

Please note this table may not reflect the latest position with bookings. Please check with myself in all cases.
