The Rushcarts, Saddleworth

morris men wrestling

Saddleworth Rushcart Festival is a 2 day event in our local area. Morris men from all over the country push the cart round the local villages in Saddleworth culminating in much dancing and drinking outside the Church Inn in In Uppermill. The wrestling and gurning are fun to watch too. Rushcarts is now generally only practiced in some northern villages, we are pretty sure it’s not going to disappear around Saddleworth, thousands of people come out to watch, its lots of fun to photograph too.
