Whit Friday – May 24th 2024

Live Band Waiting Updates

… “to the greatest free show on earth”. The Diggle Band Contest took place for the very first time on the 5th June 2009. The aim of the organising committee was to make this new contest a family friendly occasion, and that is just what we have achieved! We have fabulous food offerings, plenty of space for chairs and blankets and tremendous views.

See here for information on the other Saddleworth Whit Friday Contests. Please take a look and complete the Registration Form. We, and most other contests, now rely on accurate registration information ahead of the contest, as we have moved on from quill and paper!

Help us to keep the Band Contest running in future years.

Please donate whatever you can to help us raise the £5000 needed every year to run the contest. You can use Paypal or debit card.
