Saddleworth Rushbearing Festival

In mid August, the Saddleworth Rushbearing Festival takes place in the Tameside villages on the western edge of Saddleworth Moor near Manchester. It is a version of the church rush strewing ceremonies common over the summer, but this one, organised as it is by the local Morris men is a less reverent and more jocular and drunken affair. Two tons of rushes are piled on a cart and then hauled by the dancers, led by a “jockey” holding a large kettle, through the streets of Greenfield, Dobcross and Delph, the procession ending up at St Chad’s Church in Uppermill, where the rushes are strewn on the church floor. The rushcart has however stopped at every pub along the route with the jockey drinking a kettleful of ale each time. Apparently the tradition directly led to a local term for getting drunk - to get ‘kettled’.
Another tradition states that if women of childbearing years touch the rushes while they process, they will conceive within the year, which is possibly linked to pagan good luck and fertility beliefs. Apparently one year the landlady of the Cross Keys in Uppermill , one of the pubs on the route, tempted fate by touching the rushes, allegedly laughing at the superstition. She fell pregnant a couple of months later.

Took a late afternoon drive over Saddleworth towards Marsden today. Took a few quick pics before the light completely faded.
Only 1°C and we passed several gritting wagons on the way back. Going to be a frosty one tonight.
