As a preview to the annual Chester Food and Drink Festival, the city hosts its famous Cheese Rolling Championships. Locals cheer on the Cheshire team as they take on their Lancashire and Stilton rivals over a creative obstacle course.
An ongoing tradition, and prelude to the numerous events that mark the Chester Food and Drink Festival, Chester's Cheese Rolling Championships are a charmingly curious celebration of Chester's cheese-making tradition. As well as the event itself cheese-lovers should make time to dine in one of Chester's numerous excellent restaurants. Around this time, many offer dishes liberally laden with the popular ingredient.
