Saffron Walden Town Council’s ‘Bandstand Season’ held it’s last performance for 2024 on Saturday with Saffron Building Society Community Choir.  The community choir, with a programme of music from classical to popular pieces!

The final concert was a Mayor’s Charity fundraising event.  The choir kindly offered their fee as a donation to the Mayor’s chosen charities – and Jubilee Hub was open offering tea, coffee and homemade cakes.  All sales were in aid of the Mayor, Cllr Deryk Eke’s chosen charities; Saffron Walden Citizens Advice and Mind in West Essex.  More information on how to make a donation can be found here:  https://saffronwalden.gov.uk/the-mayor/

The Bandstand Season was sponsored by Arkwright & Co. and has run weekly on Saturday lunchtimes for fifteen weeks, since 06 July on Saturdays. Said a SWTC spokesperson, “many thanks to Arkwright & Co for their continued support and to all the musicians, bands / choirs who took part – the feedback from the community has been positive and we hope to be back next summer!”
