Cheese Rolling

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2010 EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

The organisers of the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake regret to announce that the 2010 event has been cancelled.

The attendance at the event has far outgrown the location where it has traditionally been held for several hundred years: last year more than 15,000 people tried to attend (according to official estimates) which is more than three times the capacity of the site.

The organisers are working with the local Authorities and Police to control numbers which will enhance:
- crowd safety
- respect for the local community
- emergency vehicle access
- traffic flow on local and trunk roads

The event will be back, in a revised form, in 2011.

Taking place late May Bank Holiday each year, this annual event is legendary. It's been going for hundreds of years, and it's origins are mysterious. Competitors hurl themselves down a very steep hill in pursuit of real cheeses.

Coopers Hill has a gradient that is in places 1-in-2 and in others 1-in-1.
