The 'home' of the band is its own purpose built hall. It is in the village of Porthywaen which is some five miles to the south of Oswestry, Shropshire.

There are four main levels of playing within the band's organisation. There is a starter group where individuals are given basic instruction with an instrument. A beginners' group provides the next step in a player's musical development where first experiences are gained in group performance. The youth and training band takes beginners who have become sufficiently proficient to play more demanding music. The senior band is for accomplished musicians, regardless of their age.
