The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake sure isn’t a walk in the park, as the crowd probably experienced what ‘Jack and Jill’ went through, only in this situation it’s deliberate and the pain is authentic.



The festival is traditionally for the locals of Brockworth, however over time the celebration is joined by a fleet of people across the world where it is held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper’s Hill near Gloucester in the Cotswolds region of England.



The event begins with the first round of Double Gloucester cheese rolled down from the top of the hill while daring competitor’s race down after it. The first person to cross the finish line at the bottom of the hill takes home the wheel of cheese as the prize.
