Concerts at the Town Gardens and Queen's Park are back by popular demand and will be starting next month.

Following the success of the line-up in 2021, South Swindon Parish Council say they are delighted to announce the return of this much-loved fixture of the summer events season in two of their public parks, Town Gardens and Queen’s Park.

The council say the whole community is invited to experience live music in the open air. 

These concerts are completely free, so members of the public can just turn up on the day. Performances will start at 3pm and finish at 4.30pm.

Sunday, 1 May will see a special launch concert from the North Swindon Big Band in the Town Gardens Bowl.

The season of free Sunday afternoon concerts complements South Swindon Parish Council’s recently launched season of theatre and music events at the Town Gardens Bowl, which is set to include live music from Opera Sulis and Voodoo Room, as well as the return of the popular My Dad’s Bigger Than Your Dad Festival.
