Woolwich Works has announced that its Brassworks Festival will be returning to the venue on September 6, 2025.
The event celebrates brass-led music of all different styles and genres.
Brassworks 2025 will include a “carnival of horns” parade and live performances throughout the day.
There will also be a community call-out for “Blow and Blast,” inviting local residents to participate.
Building on the success of its inaugural year in 2024, which saw performances from artists such as the Bollywood Brass Band, Steam Down, Chineke!, and Byron Wallen, 2025 promises to be another “colourful and inclusive celebration of brass music for all of the community.”
The festival will kick off on the streets of Woolwich with a street carnival, as the sound of brass leads the procession into the courtyard of the grade II-listed venue, Woolwich Works.
Brass and horn players of all ages and abilities will be invited to take part in the march.
Liat Rosenthal, head of creative programmes, said: “This year, we’ve got a community call-out happening, ‘Blow and Blast’, encouraging everyone who has a brass instrument languishing at home to dust it off and join in the cacophony of noise that we’ll be creating at this year’s Brassworks.
“Join our carnival of horns as we march from General Gordon Square in Woolwich Town Centre down through the Royal Arsenal and into Woolwich Works for a day of brass music, workshops and more.
“More details will be announced very soon.”
Brassworks 2025 will take place in Woolwich Works’ courtyard and audiences will be able to enjoy drinks and street food as they listen to a range of horn-flavoured music from young and emerging musicians to seasoned pros.
The full Brassworks 2025 line-up and details of the carnival of horns parade will be unveiled over the next coming months.
More information will be available on the Woolwich Works website.
