Antrim & Newtonabbey Pipe Band Championships
June 18th, 2022
The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association Northern Ireland Branch (RSPBANI) and Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council have announced the launch of the 2022 Antrim & Newtownabbey Pipe Band Championships. The event returns to the familiar surroundings of Antrim Castle Gardens again this year and will take place next Saturday June 18, 2022, starting at 10am.
This event will be the third local championship of the 2022 season and will see a return to the competitive event type within the Borough following on from a cancelled championship in 2020 and a non-competitive festival event in 2021. This championship will feature contests for Pipe Bands from Grades Four B up to Grade One as well as Drum Majors of all grades. There will be a total of 32 band performances with 30 drum majors competing on the day.
Upcoming Pipe Band and Drum Major events can be found at the top of the RSPBANI website here. Entries for Ballymena need to be submitted by Thursday, July 7, for Newcastle by Thursday, July 21 and Lisburn by Thursday, August 18.
