Roaming Bands in Wiltshire
Hire a roaming band for your wedding or event in Wiltshire
When guests are spread across a lawn, a terrace or several rooms, a roaming band keeps the atmosphere going everywhere at once. The band moves from group to group, playing a song or two for each before moving on. Across Wiltshire, these acts are a favourite for weddings and summer events, playing acoustic pop, swing, jazz, folk and brass.
Popular event venues in Wiltshire include Grittleton House, Barford Park Barn and Bowerchalke Barn, and our roaming bands play weddings and events across Swindon, Chippenham and Devizes. Tell us your venue and where guests will gather when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit.
Within this category you'll find acoustic duos and trios, roaming swing and jazz groups, walkabout brass bands and acoustic pop acts. Many also offer a static set later in the day, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.

Roaming bands are often booked for outdoor receptions, so agree a covered alternative with your venue. Acoustic acts can move inside in minutes, and most are happy to play in a marquee, a conservatory or a covered terrace.
Most roaming band bookings fall between about £800 and £2,500. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
