Welcome to Godalming Band

Discover the History of Godalming Band

Based in the South West corner of Surrey, three miles from the county town of Guildford, the Godalming Band has been in existence in its current form since 1937 and boasts both an active Senior and Youth band. The membership is a cross section of people, of all ages living in the local community.

Thanks to the generosity of the people of Godalming and the surrounding area, the band has remained a self-supporting organisation, raising our own funds for the instruments, music and uniforms we require through regular public performances in and around the Godalming area, at a variety of venues including concert halls, bandstands, outdoor concerts and a selection of local shows and fetes. The band also take a pride in fundraising for local good causes, recent concerts have been held for Citizens Advice Waverley.

Our Versatile Repertoire

From original music for brass band, classical music, rock anthems and contemporary chart-toppers, our repertoire spans a diverse range of genres. We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to any occasion, ensuring that our performances cater to the unique preferences of our audiences.
