About National Wife Carrying Competition in the United Kingdom
Romance Love & Sexuality , United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Feb 29, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Wife carrying originated in the United Kingdom over twelve centuries ago; on June 8, 793AD, Viking raiders rampaged into Lindisfarne on the northeast coast of what is now England, destroying the monastery and reportedly carrying off the local women. Such wife carrying continued intermittently for around 300 years.
Wife Carrying was re-introduced to the Britain in 2008, after an absence of nearly 900 years. The modern sport, though, started in Finland, with the first Wife Carrying Championships held in 1991. In 1999, the United States added similar games.
PLEASE NOTE:
All televised and venue specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) should be treated as estimated, even if the dates are set. Several factors can cause an event to change dates at the last minute including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promoter prior to committing resources. In many cases we must estimate the dates based upon previous years' schedules, as the final dates are not set until a few months or weeks prior to the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
