Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, The UK

The UK cheese rolling festival, also known as Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake, is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, England. The festival involves rolling a round of Double Gloucester cheese down a steep 180m hill and then running after it. Participants compete to see who can reach the bottom of the hill first and catch the cheese. The event has been celebrated since the early 19th century.
