The Club Band will be playing at Nantwich Square on Saturday 12th July 2025. It will be playing a 45 minute spot from 11 a.m. and another of the same duration from 1 pm subject to us having weather with no rain forecast.

Nantwich is a lovely town well-furnished with cafes, restaurants and shops, not forgetting the market and watering-holes. So, if you want a good day out whilst also supporting the band, choose that time and place. There are many car parks signposted around the town.
