Preparations are ongoing for the United Kingdom Pipe Band Championships which will be held in Grove Park, Belfast on Saturday 13th June.

This is the first time the United Kingdom Championships will be held in Grove Park. Yesterday there was a multi-agency meeting at Grove Park to continue with the planning. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to decide on layout of arenas, locations for vendors, first aid, parking and much more.
