The biggest Brass Band Competition is Uppermill and not Greenfield. You are still within walking distance though. Just walk along the canal there. Just so you are aware, there are no facilities at Well-i-hole Farm by which I mean showers/toilets. Also, if the weather is bad, it floods and floods badly. I'm not trying to put you off, just making sure that you are prepared. If the weather is a bad forecast, make sure you aren't right down on the flat and, if you are in a caravan, make sure you don't have your awning erected or it will get ruined. Hopefully, it should be a great weekend with good weather and I will be going to my hometown of "Mossley", just down the road from Greenfield for that week.
There are two very good pubs nearby, the Royal George, which you might be able to see at the top of the hill and The Roaches Lock which is about 5 minutes walk away towards Mossley that does great food and a few real ales.

Just to alleviate your worries, or not, It's the Pennines, it rains, a lot!
it gets windy up here
The flooding was last year, Oldham was not alone in this, there is higher ground.
It has basic toilet and shower,
Use your judgement, own facilities and after a few pints you will neither know nor care.
As for which location for the bands, Toss a coin, the bands travel round the venues no particular rhyme or reason. They phone through to the next couple of venues and the one with the least bands waiting is the next stop. You never know who is coming next .
Have a look youtube watch a couple of video's from different locations and decide which is for you.
Still an experience not to be missed.
