Welcome to Ringwood and Burley Band Website

We practice on Friday evenings between 7.30pm-9.30pm at Greyfriars Community Hall, Ringwood.  Our Training Band rehearses from 6.30pm until 7.15pm, also on a Friday.

The band has been part of Ringwood’s life since 1879. In 1978 the band amalgamated with the Burley Band which started life around two years after the Ringwood Band.

We are known as a concert band and have achieved many successes in past years at contests, winning the Third Section in the Wessex Championships in 2004.

New Sponsor Scheme

With the appointment of the band’s new musical director, Tony Waller, we are introducing a new initiative to help raise funds to support the running costs of the band. It is called ‘Sponsor a Chair’ and invite you or anyone one you think might be interested, to sign up to this new venture. The cost is £20 per annum and in return you will receive:
1. Your name or company name alongside the instrument of your choice on the website
2. One half price ticket to public concerts
3. Your name or company name on our website , as well as on concert programmes
4. An invite for you and one other to attend specific ‘sponsor evening’ rehearsals on a Friday
5. An online quarterly newsletter, again mentioning sponsors names
Corporate sponsorship is also available in which a company will sponsor a concert to cover programme
and ticket printing. The concert will be presented as ‘Ringwood and Burley Band’ – tonight’s concert is
sponsored by *********.
If you are interested in either of these schemes, please contact the Chairman on 07882 738545 or email
