Supporting Tetbury’s Woolsack Tradition
We were proud to be part of this year’s Tetbury Woolsack Race — one of the UK’s most unique and entertaining community events. As sponsors (and gazebo providers!), we loved supporting the action on Gumstool Hill and soaking up the fantastic atmosphere.
We were thrilled to sponsor this year’s Tetbury Woolsack Race, a quirky and much-loved tradition that took place over the late May Bank Holiday.
The event, which sees competitors running up and down the famously steep Gumstool Hill carrying heavy sacks of wool, has been a highlight of Tetbury life for decades — and 2025 was no exception.
This year’s race drew huge crowds, plenty of laughter, and some seriously impressive feats of strength and endurance. Teams and solo runners from all over came to take part, raising money for local charities and celebrating the town’s wool trading heritage.
As proud sponsors, we were delighted to play a small part in the day’s success. We also lent our gazebo, which provided much-needed shade and shelter throughout the afternoon — and became a popular hub for visitors looking to catch their breath or escape the sun.
A big thank you to the organisers, volunteers, and all the brave racers who made it such a memorable day. We’re already looking forward to next year!
