The wonderful sounds of the West Yorkshire Brass Band can be heard outside of the Orangery at Sewerby Hall and Gardens on Sunday, 5 August at 2pm. If the weather fails to impress, the band will play inside the Orangery. West Yorkshire Brass Band was formed in 1986. Prior to the band formation many of its members were playing with the West Yorkshire Fire Service Band. However, when that band converted from a brass band to a military band many of the brass players found themselves out of a job. As a result the brass players got together and formed a new band, namely the band now known as West Yorkshire Brass Band.

Airships Over The Humber: Lecture With Kenneth Deacon
Running in conjunction with its similar-themed exhibition, Sewerby Hall and Gardens will be hosting another of its lectures offering extra insight into Barnes Wallis on Thursday, 14 June at 2pm in the Swinton Room hosted by Kenneth Deacon and entitled ‘Airships over the Humber’. 2012 is the 125th Anniversary of Barnes Wallis’ birth and the lecture series offers a fine accompaniment to the exhibition currently on show in the hall. In the 1920s what was then the world’s largest flying object was built in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This was the R100 airship which was three times the length of a jumbo jet. The man behind it was Barnes Wallis who became more famous later on for designing the “bouncing bomb” used on the famous Dambusters air raid in the Second World War. Later he worked on the design of supersonic airliners, amongst many other things. The exhibition tells the story of this brilliant man. It covers his life, his family at Howden in the 1920s and describes the R100 airship, what it did and what happened to it. It also goes on to explain his wartime and post war work including his role in the broadcasting of the…
