Reposted from @livinghertfordshire (@get_regrann) - Here in Braughing for the annual Wheelbarrow Race! This curious event started in 1964 with teams of two pushing a wheelbarrow through the village streets, starting and finishing in the village ford with a splash! @braughingwheelbarrowrace #braughingwheelbarrowrace #braughing #villagelife #village #englishvillages #englishvillagelife #riverford #summerfun #igerherts #igerhertfordshire #ig_countryside #hertfordshire - #regrann

Oh my..... Reposted from @copperintheclouds_ (@get_regrann) - Just finished blending a new batch of our Three-Fruit Marmalade Gin, just look at that colour 😍 a colour you only get when you use beautiful natural marmalade courtesy of @boddingtons_berries 🍊Their ingredients? Fruit peel, lemon juice, sugar. That’s it. About 15 ingredients short of most commercial marmalade 🙅🏼♀️ Settling in for a late one at the distillery to get this in bottles to take to @braughingwheelbarrowrace and @vanhagepeterborough for tasting sessions tomorrow 🙌 love it 🥰 . . . #marmaladegin #naturalproducts #liquidgold #hertfordshire #braughingwheelbarrowrace #marmalade - #regrann

There's plenty to see and do on Saturday, (it's not just about Wheelbarrows!) We have our fabulous Dog Show and this year we are joined by @fensfalconry who will be putting on a display of their amazing birds - definitely not to be missed. 🦅🦉

This year, in an effort to reduce the amount of single use plastic used, the Bar at the Braughing Fair and Wheelbarrow Race next weekend are moving over to Reusable Cups! We will be running a deposit system. You pay £1 deposit for your cup then when it is returned you get your £1 back. Simple! Alternatively you can bring your own plastic cup for your drinks. Please spread the word! The Friends of Jenyns School (Organisers of the Bar)

As its #TBT we thought we'd share a picture from the very first Wheelbarrow Race. This was taken outside the Adam and Eve pub in Hay Street (now a private residence) and in those days it was two full laps of the village with a pint in each of the pubs!! 😨 Recognise anyone? #finalcountdown #almostthere #notlongnow #3daystogo #braughingwheelbarrowrace #14july #braughing #braughingbarrows #racingbarrows #villagefair #savethedate #englishtraditions

It's a little bit soggy round the village today. Best to stay indoors and eat the leftover Easter eggs. Wheelbarrow race training can start tomorrow.... #braughing #braughingwheelbarrowrace #braughingbarrows #racingbarrows #villagefair #familyfun
