Marsden Silver Prize Band

Marsden Silver Prize Band are a top 30 ranked Brass Band, based in the banding heartland of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.

The band was formed in 1889. Earliest records talk of a 'Holme Mills Brass Band', which was later to become the Marsden Musical Institute Brass Band. The band had several locations around the village of Marsden before moving to their current headquarters on Marsden Lane in 1931. In 1961 the band won first prize in the Senior Trophy at the Belle Vue contest which gave the band the right to use the title 'Silver Prize' in their name.

Our headquarters is still in Marsden, a village also famous for its tunnels and its cuckoos. We have our own bandclub – Marsden Band 'Ole – which also holds its doors open to other musical groups based in the village. The band is available for bookings – for a wide variety of events as either a full band or a smaller more informal 12 piece
