On the second weekend of August every year there is a wartime weekend event in Saddleworth http://www.yanksarebackinsaddleworth.co.uk/ Over the weekend there are various events throughout the area with a huge encampment on the Churchill playing fields above. On the Sunday one of the biggest convoys of wartime vehicles makes its away around Saddleworth passing through the villages of Uppermill, Delph, Standedge, Diggle, Dobcross and back to Uppermill. If the weather is good the event brings the crowds and their cameras out who line the route through the all villages. Image Image Image Image Image Image
