Tipperary Town to turn the clock back with churn-rolling contest

At 7pm on July 11 and 12, Tipperary Town will spring to life for the 50th annual churn-rolling finals.

Competition will be red hot for this special anniversary showdown, the Irish dairy sector’s answer to the Pamplona bull run.

Speeds of as much as 40km/h have been recorded over the years. A huge crowd is expected to come see the sparks fly as the churns career down Tipperary Town’s Main Street, just a stone’s throw away from the co-op.
