In 1998 we were fortunate enough to be awarded a Lottery Grant from the Arts Council of England to enable us to purchase a range of quality musical instruments.

Further instruments were purchased following another successful grant application, this time from H.B.O.S. in 2003 and 2005. Instruments have also been donated by members of the general public from time to time..

Instruments on the loan scheme are as shown below and are available to any member of the orchestra (subject to availability) free of charge.
