Celebrated for over 200 years, this thrilling and dangerous tradition attracts thousands of spectators and participants each year and is deeply rooted in Gloucestershire’s cultural heritage. Despite its popularity, the event operates without an official organiser, meaning there are no formal safety protocols or emergency plans in place to safeguard participants.
