Contestants will be tasked with eating as many Dorset Knobs (dry, savoury biscuits) as they can within one minute, all whilst raising money in aid of Weldmar Hospice.

The Dorset Knob Festival is a time-honoured tradition, and one that it won’t let Covid 19 cancel completely.

The question is – are you a champion Knob nosher? If so there are 100 spaces available.

There will be 10 rounds of 10 contestants all scrambling to eat as many Knobs as they can within one minute. Noshing will be live streamed through Facebook Live, with fundraising in aid of Dorset charity Weldmar Hospice.

Potential contestants are asked to register through the Dorset Tea website and 100 names will be picked from a draw.  Tea and Knobs will be sent to contestants in time for the contest.
