Biggest Liar in the World Competition
It's not often that you're encouraged to lie through your teeth, but for the annual Biggest Liar in the World Competition, the more far-fetched your fibs are, the better. The event is held at the Bridge Inn in Holmrook.
This unusual competition was inspired by the legendary tall tales of
Victorian publican Will Ritson. Since 1974, the good people of Holmrook
have honoured his memory by holding a lying competition, in order to see
who can match his economy with veracity.
Previous winners'
stories include a geological account of the formation of the Lake
District by giant moles and tales about the fish-farming of mermaids.
The
winner of the competition "may be publicly billed, advertised or
referred to as The Biggest Liar in the World for as long as he or she
holds the title".
When: 18 Nov 2010
