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.
