This week's Band in the Park is Newark Town Band. The performance starts at 2pm.
Newark's present day brass band was formed more than 60 years ago in 1956, and became one of the town's most successful competition bands in the Sixties and Seventies.
Today, Newark Town Band is once again thriving with over 30 members on the books.
Apologies to those who visited the park last week to see the Maltby Miners Welfare Band. This concert was cancelled at short notice due to weather concerns and it is hoped the date will be rescheduled.

So get your glad rags on (while still dressing for the outdoors of course!), bring a picnic and a blanket, and enjoy some local refreshments – now that prohibition is lifted!
