El-ver Eating Competition
A fiercely contested competition was held annually on The Green here in Frampton on Severn for many years, but the scarcity of elvers meant it had to cease. However, in 2015 it was reinstated using an elver substitute. We continue the competition here at Frampton Country Fair and we are using the eco friendly alternative Surimi.
If you would like to be a competitor in this event, please register at the Countryside Ring 10 minutes before the start.
