A chance to experience the quirky Cotswold Olimpicks Games.

Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswolds, Every year, on the first Friday after the Spring Bank Holiday, Dover's Hill hosts the Cotswold Olimpicks games. The Cotswold Olimpicks games is a unique continuation of early rural sporting events dating back centuries, combining informal amateur sporting events for competitors with general entertainment and activities for visitors. The games begin with the traditional marching of bands and the firing of cannons. The most prestigious and fiercely competed for event is undoubtedly the annual shin-kicking tournament other activities like tug-of-war, running and wrestling are all hotly contested for. The evening is brought to a spectacular end with the lighting of a fire, the setting off of fireworks and a torch-lit procession into the town of Chipping Campden.  

Finally, there is dancing in the square until the small hours for the more energetic campers.
