Whit Friday in Dobcross

Whitwell Brass Band Link

marches down Platt Lane towards the centre of Dobcross village.
Often described as 'the greatest free show on Earth', the Saddleworth & District Whit Friday Brass Band Contests take place every year on the afternoon and evening of Whit Friday which fell on the 1st June in 2007
This is a major event in the brass band calendar and bands travel the length of the country to participate, some even turning up from overseas.
Contests typically start at about 4.30pm before the winners are announced shortly after close at 10pm or 11pm, though the most popular contests can go on well into the early hours of the morning.
