The tradition of tossing knobs on a Dorset field has been cancelled due to fears that lives would be put at risk.The Dorset Knob Throwing and Frome Valley Food Festival features a competition to hurl the county's traditional biscuits as far as possible.Ian Gregory, chair of the Dorset Knob Throwing Committee, said it had been affected by Covid-19 restrictions.The event is scheduled to return to Cattistock in May 2022.It incorporates a food festival, live music and knob-based games such as knob-and-spoon racing, splat the knob, knob darts, and pin the knob on the Cerne Abbas giant.Players also battle to eat as many knobs as possible in record time.The one-day festival attracted 8,000 revellers in 2019, and knob-throwing has taken place there since 2008.Experienced and hardened contestants are seen tossing their knobs underarm while keeping one foot on the ground during each bash.<img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/464/cpsprodpb/1357F/production/_116613297_line976.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
