Dorset Knob Throwing Games return for 2024!

DORSET knob throwing is back for 2024.

Fives years after they were last staged, The Dorset Knob Throwing Games will return at the Cattistock Countryside Show, on July 14.

“For five long years, a Knob in Dorset has not been thrown. No Knobs have been painted, or pinned to the Cerne Abbas giant, or the weight of a big Knob guessed,” a spokesperson said.

“But now the much-famed Dorset Knob Throwing Games are back.”

The Games will be part of the show, which takes place near Maiden Newton, in the Chilfrome Valley.
