Welcome to the Ironbridge Brass Band Festival website. Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron in Shropshire, join us for this free two day festival featuring over 20 brass bands. All the information you need on the festival can be found by using the tabs above.

After a year’s break, we are delighted to announce that planning has begun for the return of the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival.

We are pleased that the National Trust is supporting the festival returning to the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron. Much of the familiar festival format will remain, and importantly, it will continue to be free to attend.

We know how much the festival has been missed, so it’s fantastic to be planning our return. We’re really looking forward to bringing the bands and audiences back together at Ironbridge in 2027 for our 20th festival on the 10th and 11th of July.

Ross Davidson, Visitor Experience Manager at Ironbridge said “We’re delighted to be supporting the return of the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival in 2027. It is a much-loved event, and we look forward to working with the organisers as plans develop.”

We are now fully booked for bands for 2027. Watch this space for our line up.
