World Custard Pie Championship

World Custard Pie Championship Inspired by Charlie Chaplin, the World Custard Pie Championships have been held since 1967 in the village of Coxheath, Kent. The rules are simple.

Dreamed up as a way of raising funds for the village hall by councillor Mike FitzGerald, the contest has gone from strength to strength, attracting teams from across the globe. The players are divided into teams of four, and each scores points depending on where their thrown pie hits a member of the opposing team. Every player must throw with their left hand. It's one point for an arm, three for t

he chest and a full six points for a pie in the face. A player who misses three times has points deducted. The recipe for the pies is a closely guarded secret, but they are said to contain flour and water. It is truly an international event with a team from Japan promising to return to Coxheath for the 2016 championships in a bid to remain cream of the crop.
