Atherstone 2020 Ball Game in pictures: Handbags to gladrags
By James Smith 16th Feb 2021
With the 2021 Atherstone Ball Game regrettably but understandably cancelled, we have had a look back at some of the images from last year's event.
This is one of four galleries we will be sharing from the 821st year.
Here are the words written back in 2020 by Nick Hudson:
Atherstone Ball Game's rich tapesty of history includes ensuring the town's children join in the fun.
Launching bags of sweets from the upstairs of the event's headquarters is something that gives a nice feel to the spectacle's preamble.
There is always winner who finds a 'bag of gold' – a throwback to the game's medieval roots when the ball contained such riches.
