Brass Band:
Lower Withington Chapel has a history of music dating back to the 1800s.  We have a very successful and active brass band who practise on a Monday evening at 7:30pm before various special events.  Each year the band will:

- lead the music for the annual Rogation Service in May on a local farm, where the land, livestock and crops are blessed.
- lead the music for the annual village carol service on the 1st Sunday in December at the Parish Hall.  This event brings together around 150 people from the village and surrounding villages to sing carols.
- go out over the Christmas period playing carols at houses and farms in the village and surrounding villages.  This long standing tradition has been taking place for over 160 years.
- lead the procession on the Village Rose Day.
- play at any special services and fundraising events in the village.

If you can play a brass instrument and are interested in joining please speak to the Church Minister to get a contact name.

Chapel Choir
The ladies of the Chapel Choir have always sung at our Easter, Harvest and Candlelight carol services. In 2021 we formed a new choir which also includes a few men. 

So if you are interested in joining the Choir please speak to the Church Minister to get a contact name.

We get together on a Wednesday evening at 6pm for rehearsals for a number of weeks before our Easter, Harvest & Christmas Services.
