Tetbury holds a rather unusual event on the May Bank Holiday.

Locals arrange themselves into teams of 4 and them into pairs to relay a 60lb woolsack (35lb for the ladies) up and down Gumstool Hill between The Crown and The Royal Oak pubs. The course is 280 yards long up and down a 1 in 4 hill, so if you want to challenge the mens record of 3.5 minutes off you go!

The races are the main attraction of a fun filled fund rasing day including:

• All day street market
• Charity auction
• Village fete
• Street entertainers
• Family entertainment

• Where :Tetbury, Glos.
• Date :Monday 30 May 2016 – Bank Holiday
