The Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling Ring outside the Craft Tent is a busy little spot on show day, even before the wrestlers arrive! It’s home to the Children’s Sports at 12 noon, the Country Dancing display at 1pm and the wrestlers are due around 3.30pm. Wrestling is known as a Gentlemanly Sport with its formality of good manners and handshakes.  It’s evident in the children’s classes; boys and girls equally show that technique far outweighs strength. Our competitors are from Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling Association which is an amalgamation of four clubs: Waberthwaite, Kendal, Carlisle and Rothbury. We’re expecting competitors from all age groups, under 10’s to adults (all weights) who will arrive ‘fresh’ from the earlier bouts at Dalston Show, in Cumbria which, this year, is the host of the under 15years/8stone World Championship . So, we might even have a World Champion in our midst!
