Report: Whitworth Rushcart Festival 2010
10:09am Wednesday 8th September 2010
MORE than 1,000 people soaked up the atmosphere at the Whitworth Rushcart celebrations on Sunday.
The long-stranding tradition, revived two years ago by the town council’s tourism and leisure committee, featured a procession, dancers and entertainment.
The Whitworth Rushcart Dancers, Lady Sweepers from Whitworth, tribal bellydancing troupe Az Kabile from Todmorden and the Britannia Coconutters, from Bacup, all performed.
Coun David Chorlton said: “Everyone was absolutely delighted with the way the day went.
"The weather stayed fine and people from Whitworth and beyond turned out in force.”
