Brolly good show!

Torrential rain failed to dampen spirits at Delph’s sixth Party in the Park.

A stand-in Bob Marley tribute act and The Rollin’ Clones entertained hundreds of partygoers at Delph and Dobcross Cricket Club with swinging classics.

Organised by the Wake-Up Delph Committee, money raised will go towards funding for the village’s Christmas lights and Santa parade.

Committee member Phil Beck said: “The day was unbelievable. Despite the weather, people still came out in force. The bands were great and we raised a good amount of money.

“This could not have happened if it was not for the amazing work by the volunteers, the sponsors and the cricket club.”

A spectacular firework display rounded off Saturday’s show as it once again cemented itself as one of the major events on the Saddleworth calendar.
