Party in the Park Rain stays away for the 13th year for one of Saddleworth’s spectacular events! Favourable Saddleworth weather was the order of the day as 1,200 revellers enjoyed an afternoon and evening of merriment at Delph’s annual Party in the Park knees up. Once again this fabulous event was held at Delph & Dobcross Cricket Club, and this was surely one of the best that the organisers had seen since they started back in 2005. The line up this year was again fifirst class with the likes of Queen tribute band, Mercury, Malcolm Pitt with the magical sounds of Lionel Ritchie and Danny Lowrie, who is regarded as the best Robbie Williams tribute act in the country, as well as Ska Britannia and top local bands Flatline and Neon.
