Celebrate the season with the sounds of live brass.
On Monday 15th December, the Youlgrave Brass Band will perform live in our gardens from 6pm – 6:30pm, filling the air with seasonal tunes that capture the spirit of the Peak District.
Wrap up warm, gather with friends or family and enjoy a taste of seasonal magic right here at The Peacock at Rowsley.
The performance is free to attend with no booking required. Simply come along, enjoy a mulled wine and let the music set the tone for a memorable December evening.
