It's a great day for liars!
If you fancy a go then you could be in with a chance of winning a whetstone!
Runners up will get to ride home with the Bishop of Carlisle after he has finished his anti-lying sermon.
Good luck.
If you can't make it to Temple Sowerby in the past you could attend the World's Biggest Liar Competition in the Lake District. This contest is apparently over 150 years old and was reportedly started by Wordsworth and the Lakeland Poets who thought that the locals were the biggest fibbers in the UK. (Politicians, lawyers, estate agents and journalist need not apply.)
