The event is called ''Cheese-Rolling and Wake'' because it includes the cheese rolling race itself, and the festive gathering that follows. The word "wake" can mean an annual festival and holiday, originally one held in a rural [[parish]] on the [[feast day]] of the [[patron saint]] of the church. Brockworth has St George's Church, and the feast day of [[St George]] is 23 April. | The event is called ''Cheese-Rolling and Wake'' because it includes the cheese rolling race itself, and the festive gathering that follows.

The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese, even though the cheese is never actually caught.<ref>https://www.soglos.com/event/outdoors/gloucestershire-cheese-rolling/17943/</ref> Multiple races are held during the day, with separate events for men and women. Participants in the downhill races must be over the age of 18.<ref name="BBC2025"/> | |||
Then there are separate uphill races. Considerably less hazardous, these races are open to minors. In the past (e.g. 2014), the uphill race categories have been "boys 14 and under" and "girls 14 and under". In the most recent races in 2025, the children's uphill categories were "under 11" and "11 and over." The adult's uphill race was mixed.<ref name="BBC2025">{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c230jj5m1yro|title=Your 2025 guide to Gloucestershire cheese rolling|date=16 May 2025|website=BBC.co.uk}}</ref> | |||
The number of races held during the event has varied over the years, but there are usually four downhill races (three men's, one women's) and a number of uphill races (adults and children). | |||
In the 2013 competition, a foam replica replaced the cheese for [[Health and Safety Executive|safety]] reasons, but a real cheese was restored the following year.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-27575303 |title= Gloucestershire cheese-rolling champ 'doesn't really like cheese' |work= BBC News |date= 26 May 2014 }}</ref> | In the 2013 competition, a foam replica replaced the cheese for [[Health and Safety Executive|safety]] reasons, but a real cheese was restored the following year.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-27575303 |title= Gloucestershire cheese-rolling champ 'doesn't really like cheese' |work= BBC News |date= 26 May 2014 }}</ref> | ||

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox recurring event
The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, at Brockworth near Gloucester, England.[1] Participants race down the Template:Convert long hill chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. It is uncertain when the tradition first began, and is possibly much older than its earliest known written attestation in 1826.[2] The event has a long tradition, held by the people of the village, but now people from a wide range of countries take part in the competition as well. The Guardian in 2013 called it a "world-famous event," with winners coming from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States.[3][4]
The event is called Cheese-Rolling and Wake because it includes the cheese rolling race itself, and the festive gathering that follows. The word "wake" can mean an annual festival and holiday, originally one held in a rural parish on the feast day of the patron saint of the church. Brockworth has St George's Church, and the feast day of St George is 23 April.
Format
From the top of the hill, a Template:Convert round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down the hill, which is Template:Convert long, and with a slope of around 50 percent (26.6 degrees).[5][6] Competitors then start racing down the hill after the cheese.[7] The competitors aim to catch the cheese; however, it has around a one-second head start and can reach high speeds, enough to knock over and injure a spectator. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese, even though the cheese is never actually caught.[8] Multiple races are held during the day, with separate events for men and women. Participants in the downhill races must be over the age of 18.[9]
Then there are separate uphill races. Considerably less hazardous, these races are open to minors. In the past (e.g. 2014), the uphill race categories have been "boys 14 and under" and "girls 14 and under". In the most recent races in 2025, the children's uphill categories were "under 11" and "11 and over." The adult's uphill race was mixed.[9]
The number of races held during the event has varied over the years, but there are usually four downhill races (three men's, one women's) and a number of uphill races (adults and children).
In the 2013 competition, a foam replica replaced the cheese for safety reasons, but a real cheese was restored the following year.[10]
History
The event originally took place each Whit Monday, but was later moved to the Spring Bank Holiday. The first written evidence of cheese rolling is found in a message written to the Gloucester town crier in 1826;[2] even then it was apparent that the event was an old tradition, and it is believed to be at least six hundred years old.[11][12]
Two possible origins have been proposed for the ceremony. First, it may have evolved from a requirement for maintaining grazing rights on the common.[11][13] Second, there may be pagan origins for the custom of rolling objects down the hill. It is thought that bundles of burning brushwood were rolled down the hill to represent the birth of the New Year after winter. Connected with this belief is the traditional scattering of buns, biscuits and sweets at the top of the hill by the Master of Ceremonies.[14] This is said to be a fertility rite to encourage the fruits of harvest.[13]
In 1982, a team of students from the University of Bristol filmed the 31 May event using film cameras, with one camera overcranked to produce slow motion.[15][16]
In 1993, sixteen people were injured, four of them seriously, during the event.[13] In 2009, safety concerns were raised after 15,000 spectators arrived, when there was only space for around 5,000. These concerns led to the organisers cancelling the 2010 event.[17] Despite the cancellation, around 100 people attended and held an unofficial event.[18]
In 2011, a new 2-day ticketed event was proposed in order to address the safety concerns raised in previous years and to allow the event to continue operating.[19] The proposals were received negatively due to the cost of tickets, and the proposed event was cancelled following the organisers receiving abuse.[20] Despite the cancellation, the event continued unofficially with around 200 people attending.[21] The event has continued without official management or planning alongside the Council Safety Advisory Group.
In 2020 and 2021, the event was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] It returned on Sunday 5 June 2022, ending a two-year absence.[23][24]Template:Efn
Cheese

The cheese currently used in the event is Template:Convert Double Gloucester, a hard cheese traditionally made in a circular shape.[25] Each is protected for the rolling by a wooden casing round the side, and it is decorated with ribbons at the start of the race. Formerly, three cheeses were presented by parishioners, and the cheeses were usually rolled by them. A collection is usually made now to purchase them, as well as sweets, and also to provide prize money.[13]
Since 1988, the cheese has been supplied by local cheesemaker Diana Smart and her son Rod from their Churcham farm.[7][26][27] In May 2013, a police inspector warned the 86-year-old Smart that she could be held responsible for injuries.[7] Chief Superintendent Nigel Avron of Gloucestershire Constabulary also made these comments: "If you are an organiser in some way or some capacity you could potentially be held liable for something that took place at that event".[7] Diana Smart died in 2021.[28] In 2013, organisers of the event felt compelled to use a lightweight foam version for safety reasons.[29] In the second race of 2013, Australian Caleb Stalder managed to catch the fake cheese and claim victory despite being some way behind the leaders.[30] In 2014, the organisers returned to using real cheeses.[29]
Injuries
Due to the steepness and uneven surface of Cooper's Hill, there are usually several injuries each year.[31] St John Ambulance have previously provided first aid cover at the event; however, this stopped in 2012 when the event was no longer being officially managed.[32] The lack of official medical provision on site has led to concerns from the local resilience forum about the safety of the event.[33]
Canadian competitor Delaney Irving won the ladies' race in 2023, despite finishing unconscious, and only learning of her victory in the medical enclosure.[34] Six competitors were taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment following the event.[31]
