In the village of Hallaton in Leicestershire, England, a unique tradition unfolds every Easter Monday. The residents of Hallaton and the nearby village of Medbourne engage in a spirited competition known as bottle kicking, where the goal is to move a “bottle” across two streams located a mile apart. This centuries-old event, dating back to the late 18th century, is considered by some as one of the country's longest-running sports, with claims of its origins reaching back to Roman times.
