Each year, on the traditional date of Friday after Spring Bank Holiday (the date for the next Games is on Friday 1st June 2012 on Dover's Hill - extended for these special Games - from 2.00pm to midnight), the hill echoes with the shouts and cheers of competitors and spectators as Robert Dover’s Cotswold ‘Olimpick’ Games (not Olympic Games) are celebrated. Bands march, cannon fire, rustic activities and wrestling take place, and the evening is brought to a close with fireworks and a torchlight procession into Campden followed by dancing in the square.
