Saturday 3rd August 2024
10.30am to 1pm
The “slowest and silliest” race at the Food & Craft Market just outside Aylsham Town Hall, when live snails will compete for the coveted “Lettuce Pot”.
Organised by Slow Food, whose logo is, of course, the snail, the second Great Aylsham Snail Race is open to young and old, but children make better snail owners and trainers than adults.
The winner of each category gets a handsome pot filled with a quality lettuce and the honour of being Aylsham's Great Snail Race 2024 winners.
The race is organised and refereed by the Snail Master who keeps order, tests for drugs, watches out for cheating, and starts the races. He keeps the course well-watered to encourage good speeds.
Price: Entry is free for the Open Race but £10 sponsorship fee per snail for the Business Challenge for local traders, which will go to charity.
Location: Aylsham Market Place, Aylsham, Norfolk, NR11 6EL
