Revision as of 21:50, 17 May 2005 by 62.255.32.14 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Tetbury Woolsack Races are held on the Whitsun Bank Holiday Monday. Hundreds of people line up along "The Chipping" ( an extremely steep street) in the centre of Tetbury to watch the teams. Each competitor must carry a full woolsack on his / her back and race either up, down or up and down the hill. It is exhausting work and perhaps accounts for the vast quantities of beer and cider consumed in the local establishments.
