The Deal Memorial Bandstand is located on Walmer Green near Deal.
It is a memorial to the 11 musicians killed when the Royal Marines Barracks was bombed on 22nd September 1989.
Eleven sides of the twelve-sided structure have engraved tablets bearing the names of those that
lost their lives.
Concerts are performed on Sunday afternoons from May to
September, commencing at 2.30pm. The concerts are free, as are chairs and programmes, although we do hold a collection
and sell raffle tickets. There are also a couple of Wednesday evening concerts and a Carol Concert held in December.
