Where is Wetherby?
Wertherby is located:
- 12.5 miles North East of Leeds City Centre (approx 20 -25 minutes by car)
- 13.5 miles West of York (approx 25 - 30 minutes by car)
- 9 miles South East of Harrogate (approx 15 minutes by car)

The A1 runs around the edge of the town, giving very easy access from the north or south of Wetherby. The band room is about 2 or 3 minutes off the motorway!
Where and When are rehearsals?
We have our own band room in Wetherby town centre, adjacent to the New Inn Pub and the Methodist Church Hall. Formally a pig sty, which were joined together and refurbished into a band room some years ago. We have a small kitchen, toilets and even a garden!
The Band rehearses twice a week on Tuesday and Friday Evenings, from 8pm until 9.45pm.
After rehearsals there's usually a visit to one of the local drinking establishments for refreshments!
