Cooper’s Hill, UK Won’t See Traditional Cheese Rolling Festival This Year
This festival has been held for around 200 years and the tradition involved rolling cheeses down the steep side of Cooper’s Hill. However, the event has been cancelled this year because the authorities feel that there could be an accident. The event has become so popular that last year, there were 15,000 people who turned up to watch.
The ones who take part chase huge blocks of Double Gloucester cheese down the hill and there have been injuries over the years. The crowds also stood to be in danger of getting injured and as there were so many people, they also trampled on the plants of the farmers here and even damaged their fencing. Which is why this year there’s going to be no event. Another tradition falls by the wayside!
