© Licensed to London News Pictures. 06/01/2018. Haxey, UK. Picture shows the fool making his speech that marks the start of The Haxey Hood game that is taking place today in the village of Haxey in Lincolnshire. The Haxey Hood is a traditional event that takes place every January & is played by teams from four pubs, the Carpenters Arms, the Duke William Hotel, The Loco & The kings Arms. The game is like a large rugby scrum called the 'sway' which pushes a leather tube called the 'hood' to one of the four pubs, the game is won when a team gets the hood to the front step of the pub & it is touched by the landlord.
