CWW @ The Penrith Show 2016

Cumberland & Westmorland wrestling event held at the Penrith Show.

For centuries, backhold wrestling has gripped the hearts of wrestlers and spectators alike. The fascination of man-against-man combat with its simple rules and subtle mix of speed, strength, agility, skill and determination is there to see in the grass rings at sports meetings and agricultural shows throughout the Northern Counties of England and the Borders of Scotland

Against all odds, Cumberland and Westmorland Style wrestling survives as a skill and vigorous sport, and for more than two centuries has been well documented by newspapers and specialised books.

Wrestling itself scarcely changes. If a wrestler from today's rings could travel back in time for two hundred years, he would be perfectly at home in a wrestling ring, for the same 'chips' are used; many of the technical terms (buttocks, hipes and dog falls) are the same, and the judges have the same problems too, such as ensuring that the wrestlers begin with an equal hold.

The Penrith Agricultural Society held the first Penrith Show in 1834. Since then this annual celebration is held on the fourth Saturday in July each year.

The show has gathered much momentum in recent years. With a wide spectrum of competition classes for farm livestock, arable, horses, rabbits, poultry, show jumping, industrial and horticulture, to a host of local trade stands, food hall and rural crafts marquee.
