As we prepare for Saturday 7th November and the Harwich Sausage Festival, we look forward to the World Sausage Throwing Championships. It is a very watchable 30 minutes of pork propelled by pure power. The current world champion might be an accountant from Dovercourt, but he spends his day pushing very heavy spreadsheets and he will be very hard to beat. Once you’ve observed all that excitement, you will be invited to tour the The Alma Inn Harwich, The Stingray - Pub, Bar & B&B in Harwich and The New Bell Inn at Harwich to sample the finest sausages of the Tendring Hundred and vote for the Champion Sausage of Tendring. It’s 4 hours of quirky sporting prowess and serious sausage sampling, not to be missed.
