A LIVE band will be playing on a green as part of an annual event held in Epping.

The Proms of the Green, outside the district council offices on the high street, will take place on July 19 for the fifth year in a row.

Songs such as Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia will be played by the Epping Forest Band from 3pm.

The event is free of charge, but visitors are invited to make a contribution in the buckets provided in front of the band.

If it is raining on the day, the concert will be held in Epping Hall on St John's Road.
