If you like Brassbands, you could choose from between about 17 contests taking place in the area every Whit Friday and most of the top bands in the country, plus some from abroad, take part. The bands travel, by coach, from venue to venue, but there is light refreshment available at all the stopping points. ( and bitter ). There is also a Beer Walk where parties of men and/or women, get into fancy dress, and walk from pub to pub, having a drink at each and collecting for charities. This normally happens on the day after,I think.

That is a brief description of Saddleworth but if you want to know more, I may be able to answer your questions and if I can't, I probably know somebody who will.
