About Us
Established in 1822, the Royal Buckley Town Band is a friendly community brass band based in Buckley, Flintshire.
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, all our activities stopped for nearly two years, including rehearsals, concerts, contests, other group activity & individual lessons.
We are finally celebrating our Bicentenary year in style as we return to rehearsals and engagements.
