Skylark Maize Maze and Funyard will once again be hosting for the 7th Annual Fenland Sweetcorn Eating Competition on Sunday 11th September.
Competitors will be attending from around the region to see if they can chomp more cobbs than their fellow contestants.
There will be two heats for children and adults, the winners of each the heats will go through to the final where the adults can win £100 cash and the children a supersoaker water squirter.
In each heat the participants will be asked to eat as many corn-on-the-cobbs as they can in three minutes! In the event of a tie, the finalists will be asked to eat a cobb as quick as they can but remember the judge’s decision is final.
