Cattistock Countryside Show & The Dorset Knob Throwing Festival
The Dorset Knob Throwing Festival is back as part of the Cattistock Countryside Show!
Participants compete to throw Dorset Knobs (traditional hard and crumbly biscuits) the furthest, as well as other silly activities including Guess The Weight Of The Knob…
The rest of the show consists of flower, produce and maker stalls, dog and horse displays, food & drink and everything else you could hope for at a typical countryside show.
