OFFICIAL CLOSING |
All events and timings are subject to change.
The Bandstand was conceived as a Millennium project by the Rotary Clubs of Ilkley Wharfedale & Ilkley and completed in 2001. The site was generously donated by the Ilkley Abbeyfield Society and both organisations, together with Ilkley Town Council retain a keen interest as Trustees. An active management committee of volunteers run the bandstand and gardens on a day to day basis. They aim to provide appropriate entertainment for residents and visitors alike.
For updates throughout the year please follow the Ilkley Bandstand Facebook page: www.facebook.com/IlkleyBandstand
For further details or to enquire about booking a slot please contact Martin Smith bmsmith.ilkley@gmail.com
