A free music and arts event, 'Party at The Bandstand,' was held at the Nottingham Victoria Embankment bandstand to celebrate its rich history. The event featured local bands and performance groups showcasing different eras of the bandstand's life.
Over the last few years a historic but sometimes overlooked feature of one of Nottingham 's most popular waterside attractions has been brought back to life. While the city's Victoria Embankment is a pleasant place for a walk or a relaxing picnic, it also has a lot of intriguing historical details that are worth mulling over.
Nottingham City Council would later demolish and rebuild parts of the Grade II listed bandstand and refurbish the rest of the building, with its changing rooms and stage saved after suffering severe damage in the blaze. This work was finished in 2019, with bands rushing to get back on the storied stage.
Ahead of the event, Edward Boott, chief executive and artist director, said: “We’re thrilled to be returning to the Victoria Embankment Bandstand to host an amazing day of fun, music, art and history. As one of the only chances to see bands live on the Bandstand this summer, we can’t wait to welcome audiences for a free day of something special.”
