Participants eat the nettle leaves from stalks of nettles for half an hour. After 30 minutes is up, the total lengths of the stalks(stripped of leaves) will be counted and the total length of nettle stalks counted. The person who eats the longest length of nettles will be crowned Nettle King for the Mens winner and the Nettle Queen for the Ladies competitors.
The energetic and locally renowned Shelbys Elbows will be playing over the afternoon. Enjoy food, local fine Ciders and Craft Beers on tap with organic apple juice and soft drinks available.
