The Official Site Of
Cheese Rolling At Coopers Hill In Gloucestershire.
Cheese-Rolling
at Cooper's Hill 2012
The
annual Cheese-Rolling Festival at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire
traditionally takes place each year
at 12:00 midday on the Late Spring Bank Holiday Monday.
Monday
4th June 2012
|
[The
Late Spring Bank Holiday, is NORMALLY
determined by statute as the
last Monday in May each year... But...] |
|
In 2012 however
the Late Spring Bank Holiday has
been moved to the first Monday
in June, June 4th, this is to
coincide with the additional Bank Holiday on June 5th (in 2012 only)
to give people in the UK the opportunity of a 4-day weekend to
celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
It is assumed therefore that the Cheese-Rolling will happen on
Monday 4th June. |
| Unless
and until a new organiser and sponsor (with deep pockets) comes
forward to fund and promote this age old tradition, the event will
continue, as in many years past, to be staged by local and unnamed
enthusiasts, dedicated to the continuance of the event and its
traditions. |
This
is the original and Only Authoritative Site dedicated to the historic event
of Cheese Rolling At Cooper's Hill In Gloucestershire.
This
site is totally independent and
exists in support of the Cheese-Rolling event and it's many thousands of
loyal fans.
Here you will find all the latest up-to-the-minute information you need to know about past, present
and possible future events.
Donations from companies, individuals or organisations, however small, in
support of the preservation of this site are always very welcome.
