In the village of Hallaton in Leicestershire, England, a unique tradition unfolds every Easter Monday.
The remaining portions are collected in a sack and carried up the nearby Hare Pie Hill.
Here, the bottles are adorned with ribbons, and penny loaves are distributed to the eager crowd.
The initiation of the competition is marked by tossing each bottle in the air three times.
The convivial atmosphere in the pub serves as a fitting conclusion to the day’s fervent competition.
This bottle-kicking tradition has persisted for more than two centuries, becoming a cherished annual event.
The Guardianand theBBChas some great photographs of the event.
