Rode Hall Silver Band

The Rode Hall Silver Band are an English brass band based in South Cheshire. One of the oldest in England, they formed in 1837 as the Rode Hall Fife and Drum Band, becoming a brass band in 1886. It is believed that the Band was originally formed to lead the local people to services at Astbury Church before Rode Church was built. The band have played in the Congleton area ever since and are currently based in a property belonging to Lady Wilbraham of Rode Hall.

Presently the band competes in the 4th section of the North West Region. The Band today plays at many events throughout South Cheshire and Staffordshire.

The band is currently conducted by Nigel Butler.
