Hare Pie Scramble & Bottle Kicking

There is no official website.
It takes place each Easter Monday with the Leicestershire villages of Hallaton and Medbourne.
Dating back at least 200 years, after a church service, the pie is cut and distributed. Then 3 barrels (called bottles) are fought over in a football type match where the goalposts are two opposing streams a mile apart. As many play as wish, including visitors, with the winning village being the first to get the barrels to the opposing stream!
