The newly restored (2011) bandstand was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. German-born Henry Busch, a Halifax resident, designed the compact, ornate wooden bandstand. It has been a venue for concerts and the focus of social events for over 125 years and is located in the centre of the amalgamated gardens which came to be known as the Halifax Public Gardens in 1867. The 32 geometric beds, a common element of Victorian gardens, pre-date the bandstand. During the summer these floating beds, planted in traditional Victorian annuals, provide exuberant colour and complement the intricately carved wooden trim of the bandstand. September 30, 2024.
