The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in the Cotswolds region of England. It is traditionally by and for the people who live in Brockworth - the local village, but now people from all over the world take part. The event takes its name from the hill on which it occurs.
The 2010 event was officially cancelled due to safety concerns over the number of people visiting the event, but it is hoped that it will be held on the late May Bank Holiday in 2011. However, despite the ban and a lack of paramedics, about 500 people showed up again in 2010 to hold some unofficial races, with six times champion Chris Anderson winning again. No major injuries were reported.
