Event date: 31st August 2026
Venue: Bacup Cricket Club, Lane Head Lane, Bacup, OL13 9BT.
Without a doubt this is one of the World’s craziest culinary competitions. A wild and whacky wrestling competition in a pool full of Lancashire Gravy! Contestants must wrestle in the Gravy for 2 minutes. Points are scored for fancy dress, comedy effect, and entertainment. All contestants get sponsorship and really give it their all to raise money for charity. Aside from raising funds for charity the events organisers have always wanted this to be a great day out for the community. This year they were tasked with finding a new venue for the crazy event and are pleased to be moving to Bacup Cricket Club. The new venue offers plenty of space for a fun filled family day out with activities including bouncy castles, face painting, craft beer stalls, cake and tombola stands.
Food and drink will be served all day and the fire brigade will be there to wash down wrestlers between bouts.
All in all it’s a great day out.
