The Saddleworth Rushcart tradition is maintained by the Saddleworth Morris Men and takes place on the last weekend in August.

The cart carries a solid load of rushes, unlike the Sowerby Bridge Rushcart which is thatched and consequently much lighter and easier to handle.


There are some pictures of the Saddleworth cart on Phil Preen's web site here
