July 04, 2025

ACCRINGTON Pipe Band is preparing to mark a major milestone this summer as it celebrates its 140th anniversary with a special concert.

The event will take place at Accrington Town Hall on Saturday, July 12, running from 7pm until 10pm and will bring together two of the region's most respected ensembles for an evening of stirring music and community celebration.

Founded in 1885, the Accrington Pipe Band holds the distinguished honour of being the oldest civilian pipe band in the world.

Over the decades, it has played a vital role in the cultural life of East Lancashire and beyond, with its unmistakable sound becoming a cherished part of local history.
