THE biggest event in Tetbury’s calendar is just about to screech into town.

This bank holiday, Monday, May 4, hand-built carts will be hurtling down hills in the Tetbury Wacky Races.

The carts can reach speeds of up to 30mph as they move from the start of Chipping Car Park, along Cirencester Road and towards the Millennium Green.

The day will start at 10am but will really rev up at 1pm.

Refreshments will be available from street stalls and Tetbury’s many cafes and restaurants.
