A free charity brass band concert is set to take place at St Peter’s Church in Sheringham to raise funds for Sheringham RNLI. Organised by the Oddfellows’ East Anglian Group Conference, the concert will feature Oddfellows Brass, a touring band that competes at regional and national levels. The event will celebrate the RNLI’s 200-year anniversary and aims to support the efforts of the Sheringham Lifeboat Station, which has received longstanding support from the Oddfellows group.

With a diverse repertoire covering classical, opera, stage and film, as well as traditional brass band works, the show promises to appeal to both seasoned brass lovers and first-timers.
