Vectis Brass Christmas Concert: Northwood

Listen to Vectis Brass at St John the Baptist in Northwood, with a free Sunday afternoon Christmas concert on the band’s island programme.

Vectis Brass brings its Christmas concert to St John the Baptist, Northwood for a free Sunday afternoon performance. Put some live music into the weeks before Christmas and hear the island band in a parish church setting. The concert is one of the public dates in Vectis Brass’s 2026 festive programme, alongside appearances at community celebrations and other churches across the Isle of Wight.

The Northwood concert starts at 3.30pm, making it an afternoon plan you can share with friends or relatives who would rather go out before evening. Vectis Brass has announced free entry. It has not published the pieces it will play, so come for Vectis Brass’s Christmas performance without counting on a particular carol or arrangement. There is no need to build a longer outing around it if what you want is an afternoon away from the usual Sunday routine.

Head to the Northwood parish church on Chawton Lane. Check the band’s latest announcement before travelling, especially if you need to know the finish time or discuss any access requirements. The published programme gives the start but does not confirm a duration. Vectis Brass also lists private care-home appearances during December; this church concert is a public event you can plan to attend. For another evening or afternoon of listening this winter, look through the Isle of Wight’s live music programme.
