The Saddleworth Longwood Thump Rushcart festival is an old English festival hosted by the Saddleworth Morris Men (who are famous for their fabulous hats encrusted with fresh flowers) every year in August. A cart made of rushes is paraded through the town, stopping at various pubs along the way for a bit of a dance off between morris troups from around world.
