The Cotswold Olimpicks is a traditional English sports festival that takes place annually in the Cotswolds region of England. The event dates back to the 17th century and is believed to have originated from ancient pagan ceremonies.
The main event of the festival is the "Olimpick Games," which includes various traditional sports such as shin-kicking, tug-of-war, and wrestling. The famous "Cannonball Race" is also a popular event, where participants have to run while carrying a heavy cannonball.
Apart from the sports events, the festival also includes a parade, live music, and food stalls. The event is usually held on the Friday after Spring Bank Holiday in June and takes place in the small town of Chipping Campden.
