Knob-throwing festival to return after growing too big
The last contest in 2019 attracted more than 8,000 people
A knob-throwing contest in Dorset is making a comeback after it got too big.
The competition involves hurling the county's traditional hard biscuits.
The Knob Throwing Games in the village of Cattistock near Dorchester was cancelled in 2022 after the event in 2019 attracted more than 8,000 people.
Organisers said it had reached such a size that it could not be run by a small village committee.
They have confirmed a partnership with a new host has been agreed with a full announcement expected next month.
The Knob is described as a "fine missile for competitive hurling".
Three knobs are thrown underarm and the furthest is measured at its final resting place.
