About Saddleworth

Known for

Dovestones Reservoir (one of the Peak District's most beautiful), the Whit Friday Brass Band Contests (one of Britain's great brass band traditions), and a Peak District moorland community in Greater Manchester

A little history

Saddleworth is a unique community — administratively in Greater Manchester but geographically in the Pennines. The Whit Friday Brass Band Contests — a tradition since 1884 — see bands marching through the villages on Whit Friday evening, with tens of thousands lining the routes. Dovestones Reservoir is a beautiful Peak District destination.

Local tip

The Whit Friday Brass Band Contests are genuinely extraordinary — one of England's great community musical traditions. Dovestones Reservoir for outstanding moorland walking. The village centre at Uppermill for the best food.
