World Wellington Boot Throwing Contest
Welly wanging supposedly originated in Yorkshire following an incident during which a pint of Tetley’s Bitter was accidentally spilt into someone’s wellies. Today over 500 hopefuls turn up to Wellington in Somerset to see who can chuck their boots the furthest. For this and more fun events, check out Wacky Nation.
