Whit Friday has been said to be "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.

 

In 2010, we had beautiful sunny weather, and a wonderful, family atmosphere, with picnics, champagne and strawberries.  Grandpa Greene's icecream had long queues and no-one remembered the downpour that we suffered on our inaugural year.   55 bands visited us and enjoyed a fast turnaround, averaging about 40 minutes.

We hope you will enjoy using this site to find out about fundraising events, see photographs of previous year's events, and plan your visit to the 2012 contest on Friday June 1st.
