Haworth's traditional events were an annual service at Haworth Spa and the
rush bearing. Spa Sunday died out in the early 20th century and the rush
bearing ceremony has not been held for many years. A modern event organised by
the Haworth Traders' Association is "Scroggling
the Holly" which takes place in November. Bands and Morris men lead
a procession of children in Victorian costume following the Holly Queen up the
cobblestones to a crowning ceremony on the church steps. She unlocks the church
gates to invite the spirit of Christmas into Haworth. Father Christmas
