Vectis Brass’s Christmas concert at St Saviour-on-the-Cliff offers a Thursday evening of live music in Shanklin. Take a break from wrapping, shopping and working through December’s list, and hear the island band perform as part of its festive programme. Entry is free, so you can make a plan with a friend without committing to a ticket bill before Christmas.
Vectis Brass’s 2026 schedule includes church concerts and appearances at island celebrations. This Shanklin performance starts at 7.30pm on 17 December, with St Saviour-on-the-Cliff as the venue. Vectis Brass has not supplied a list of pieces or promised a particular soloist, so the appeal is the band’s live Christmas concert itself. Its programme also contains private bookings, but the Shanklin church date is an advertised public concert with free entry.
Find the church on Queen’s Road and leave time to arrive before the music begins. The published announcement gives no finish time, so check with the band if you are arranging a lift or need to leave at a fixed hour. Ask the church or organiser about access arrangements if these affect your visit. You can keep the evening to the concert or make it the point around which you meet someone you have been meaning to see. There are more music events across the Isle of Wight for the rest of the winter.
