Local bands performing at the festival include the Bell Inn Brass Band, Teme Valley Band, Worcester Concert Brass, Cleobury Mortimer Concert Brass and Wellington Band, music will be played from 1pm until approx 6 – 6.30pm.

Hon. Band Secretary, Mrs Stella Wilcox from Cleobury Mortimer Concert Brass commented “We wanted this event to appeal to a range of audiences that’s why we’ve invited other local bands to play during the event to bring variety.”

The Beer & Brass festival is the launch event for the Cleobury Country Fringe, a first for the town, which is expected to attract a host of visitors with its programme of activities taking place during September ranging from a classic bike show, Taste of Cleobury event, antiques roadshow, archery tournament and a fireworks finale.
