The quirky Gloucestershire cheese-rolling event which has grown from a few hundred followers to an estimated 15,000 attendees last year has had to be cancelled due to safety concerns. In recent times the event – which dates back hundreds of years and involves groups of people chasing a 7lb Double Gloucester cheese down a hill – has attracted publicity on both a national and international level. It is hoped that numbers can be reduced somehow and that the event will resume in May 2011.
