Bolton’s annual Concert of Remembrance takes place at the Albert Halls on Thursday 5 November 2026. It is open to the general public, with tickets costing £10 and all proceeds going to Bolton’s Cadet Forces. The evening brings together music, dance and an Act of Remembrance led by the Vicar of Bolton, Reverend Hannah Lane.

The concert opens Bolton’s programme of November commemorations for people who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present. For anyone planning to attend, the confirmed details are the date, venue and booking options below; Bolton Council’s announcement does not give a concert start time or the venue’s street address.

Music, dance and a moment of remembrance

The programme features five groups: the Shree Mukta Jeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band, Theatre Dance Studios, Phoenix Knights of Harmony, the Lancashire Artillery Military Band, and the Pipes and Drums of the 103rd Regiment. Their performances sit alongside the Act of Remembrance led by Reverend Lane, giving the evening both a concert programme and a formal moment to pay tribute.

The event is described as open to the public, so residents, families, veterans and visitors can attend. The announcement does not provide further audience restrictions or accessibility information; those details are not specified in the source.

The concert begins a sequence of November services

The Albert Halls event is the first of Bolton’s listed commemorations. A civic service for Remembrance Sunday follows on Sunday 8 November in Victoria Square. It is scheduled to begin at 10.57am, with a two-minute silence at 11am. The 216 Royal Artillery will provide live gunfire to mark the beginning and end of the silence.

Bolton’s Armistice Day service is on Wednesday 11 November at 11am, on the steps of Bolton Town Hall. Led by Reverend Hannah Lane, it will include prayers and a two-minute silence marked by the firing of maroons. These are separate civic services after the concert, each with its own confirmed time and location.

The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal is also raising funds to support serving and former Armed Forces members and their families. Bolton Council encourages residents to support it by buying and wearing a poppy.

Tickets and confirmed details

Tickets for the Concert of Remembrance cost £10. They are available through the Albert Halls website or by calling the box office on 0161 876 1715. Bolton Council says all proceeds will go to Bolton’s Cadet Forces.

The council’s announcement confirms Thursday 5 November and the Albert Halls, but does not state the concert’s start time or a street address. It also gives no transport or accessibility details, so attendees should use the Albert Halls booking information or box office to check any practical arrangements before setting out.
