Open Bandroom - 180yrs of Meltham Band
Heritage Open Day: Come and explore the home of Meltham and Meltham Mills Band, and help celebrate 180yrs of brass music! Glimpse inside to see the historic features of the former Billiards Room at Bent House, and find out more about this 'Treble' winning ensemble. Bent House on Tinker Lane, Meltham, is a landmark residence historically associated with 19th-century landowner Uriah Tinker, Esq. More recently, the house has served as the home of the historic Meltham and Meltham Mills Band for almost 80 years.
Formed as an all-brass ensemble in 1846, Meltham Band helped set the modern brass band standard now seen around the world. The band made history as the first to win a British Open hat-trick, in 1876, 1877 and 1878.
