Sandbach-based Foden’s Band is seeking a new home

Members of a brass band in Cheshire that is more than a century old fear they could be left without a rehearsal space after a change of use at their current venue.

Foden’s Band has been based in Sandbach since 1902, and has performed around the globe – winning practically every major brass band title available.

Their hopes of competing in the European Championships in May, however, risk being derailed after they were served notice on their current home at Bradwall Village Hall.

“Trying to find something in such a small area where we are based that ticks all the boxes is proving extremely difficult,” band manager Mark Wilkinson said.
