World Conkers Championships — Sunday 13 October — 59th year

Official website: worldconkerchampionships.com

A conker in England is a horse chestnut in America

The game called “Conkers” consists of two people playing against each other — each holds a leather string threaded through a conker. They take turns striking each other’s conker until it shatters.
