Annual British Crabbing Championship

Walberswick offers the perfect back-to-childhood event for children of all ages – the British Open Crabbing Championship. The basic idea is simple - over a 90 minute period, and armed only with a single line and bait of your choice, the person landing the single heaviest crab wins. Many entrants use bait made to a closely guarded secret, and competition is intense. The timing of the event is said to be dependant upon the state of the tide and the current condition of Mr. Webb's socks, neither of which are ever ideal.
