Durham Brass postponed until 2022

Durham Brass, set to take place from 14 - 18 of this month (July 2021), has been postponed until 2022, due to uncertainty regarding national announcements on Covid restrictions and the publication of safety guidance on large-scale events.

The largely outdoor Durham Brass programme had been planned with Covid-safety measures and social-distancing arrangements adhering to current Government guidelines, but said a spokesperson: 'We have been monitoring sector guidance and local conditions closely and, with the current lack of clarity around safety measures at large-scale events, it is no longer felt that it would be possible to host the festival in a safe and enjoyable way on the planned dates. Everyone who has a ticket for a BRASS event will be contacted over the course of the next week.
