Mid-Winter Workshops
Our 25th Mid-Winter workshop was held in February 2025, drawing together around 70 players from the South West region (read more here...). Plans for our next one will emerge later this year...
SWBBA have the greatest pleasure and privilege to confirm that, as part of their National Milestone Workshop Tour, ex-Cory Band legends, Glyn and Helen Williams will be tutoring SWBBA's next workshop on Saturday 22nd November 2025 from 10am to 5pm at St Francis of Assisi Church Hall, Woolbrook Road, Sidmouth, Devon, EX10 9XB.
Glyn and Helen are both celebrating significant personal and brass band involvement milestones and we are delighted that they have chosen to include SWBBA in their schedule.
Once again we thank Sidmouth Town Band, who have generously lent their superb band room for the occasion.

Fees (all ages) for the day are:

PLEASE CHECK YOUR BAND ARE SWBBA MEMBERS BEFORE PAYING THE APPROPRIATE FEE (payment details are on the application form).
