Welcome

Thank you!

A huge thank you to all the bands who completed our Whit Friday 2023 survey.

We have taken a lot of your ideas on board this year and hope that you will see the results of that on this website and at this year’s Whit Friday Band Contests.

There are eleven villages in the Saddleworth and Oldham Whit Friday Brass Band Contests and each one of those offers a unique experience. It is important that we don’t spoil the spirit of Whit Friday by making changes where that individuality is lost. However, we all also want to make sure that the Whit Friday experience is the very best it can be for the bands, our volunteers, and the visitors and residents who all come together to enjoy this special day.

We will send another questionnaire out after this year’s contest. In the meantime, if you’d like to give us any feedback please use the form at the bottom of this page.

We really do listen!

See you on Friday, 24th May 2024
