Here's when you can listen to live music in Leighton Buzzard park
Leighton Buzzard friends and families can enjoy "another fantastic season" of Music in the Park.
The much loved summer tradition has begun for another year – and the town has so far welcomed Chiltern Hills Brass, Hemel Hempstead Band, and the South Beds Concert Band.
The next performance will be on Sunday, June 21, at 3pm with Luton Concert Band in Parson's Close Recreation Ground.
A Leighton-Linslade Town Council spokesman, said: "These free outdoor concerts bring the community together to enjoy live music in beautiful surroundings.
"For many years, the concert series has showcased a wonderful variety of performers, including brass and silver bands from across the region alongside jazz and popular bands. With such a diverse programme, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at the historic bandstand."
The concerts run annually from June to September, taking place on Sunday afternoons from 3pm.
Visitors can also use the park’s accessible toilet facilities, including a 'Changing Places' toilet, located next to the Splash ‘n’ Play area. An independent café also opens during the summer, providing refreshments for visitors during the concerts.
