An easy pea-sy throwing contest

By Caroline King - August 1, 2019Posted in : Alternative Sport, Food & Drink

Every summer, a pub in the East Sussex town of Lewes hosts a championship with a difference.

The World Pea Throwing Championship 2019 will be held at The Lewes Arms, with contests for both adults and children.

Not to be confused with the World Pea Shooting Championship, Lewes’ quirky annual sport sees competitors aiming to throw a pea the furthest distance. Each person gets three attempts, and frozen peas are provided by the pub for the event.

When: 4th August 2019, 1pm – 5pm
Where: The Lewes Arms, Mount Place, Lewes, East Sussex BN7 1YH
£: There is a small fee to take part
