2011 World Gravy Wrestling Championships

Placed in the top ten of the weirdest ‘sports’ and pastimes in 2010, the World Gravy Wrestling Championships will again be held at the Rose ‘n Bowl, Stacksteads, Rossendale, Lancashire.

Hundreds will gather at the famous Lancashire venue, on the Monday 29th August 2011, to watch competitors get down and dirty in a pool of gravy. All the contestants have to do is defeat their opponents in a 2 minute long wrestling match in the Gravy. Points are scored for fancy dress, comedy effect, entertainment and oh! yes, wrestling ability.

The World Gravy Wrestling Championship is a fun event that aims to raise money for charity, despite the competitive streak of most competitors.

The Event aims to raise funds for the East Lancashire Hospice while participants can raise funds for their own chosen charities, whilst getting down and dirty and providing fun for the hundreds of visitors and local communities who attend.

Competitors are invited to take part and raise funds for their favourite charity, whilst businesses are encouraged to support the event by sponsoring individuals or bouts, giving businesses the opportunity to be recognised in promotional materials.
