Prizes, Schedules and Rules

Bands – please bring details of your full name of your band, postal address, name of march and telephone contact. Although our rules say money will be paid by cheque, winning bands will be notified by phone and given the option of a bacs payment if they wish.

It is  always helpful if we are handed an addressed envelope or sticker as our contest continues to send out hard copy reports by post.

Due to the logistics of our village we have a quick turn-round and we will do our best to give each band an approximate waiting time.

Please follow us on Twitter @delphcontest for a regular update on bands waiting and turn round times.

Download a Schedule for further information and a map to show diversions and road closures.

We are pleased to say we have increased prize money this year, a big thank you to our generous sponsors.

Fast food is available specially for the convenience of bands, at the Millage car park right by the booking in point.

Most importantly please note that King Street (main march down street) MUST be re-opened by midnight by order of Greater Manchester Police. Contest organisers therefore reserve the right to close the booking in early if the number of bands waiting would over-run this timing.
