    Description:

    We are excited to once again hold the 2026 Wind Band Festival in the Ilkley area at the Mercure Bradford Bankfield, a venue that allows us to offer a greater number of places.

    Following feedback from last year we are making a few adjustments:
    • We will base the Festival on a combination of Massed Band and, subject to bookings, two equal ​​​standard bands – there will be no sectionals;
    • We are refreshing the evening entertainment. We will not be doing fancy dress. Instead we will be introducing some new ideas that allow our attendees to socialise, make new friends and relax.

    Both residents & non-residents costs include all music-making, entertainment and tea/coffee at break times.

    Resident – Member £225, Non-member £255 (Single Room supplement £60)

    This includes 2 night’s dinner, bed & breakfast, buffet lunch on Saturday & Sunday lunch.

    Non-Resident – Member £100, Non-member £130

    This includes Saturday’s buffet lunch & one evening dinner.


    Please select just one ticket when booking. If you wish to book more than one place, please do it on two separate bookings.

    Please do not pay your deposit until we have confirmed your place at the Festival.


    We are now full for the following instrument:
