Nettle Eating: New record declared at world championships

The winner of the 2024 World Nettle Eating Championships has set a new record, organisers have said.

More than 30 people, from as far afield as the US and the Netherlands, took part in the prickly contest at the Dorset Nectar Cider Farm, near Bridport, on Saturday.

Tom Wheeler from London ate the leaves from 116ft (35.4m) of nettle stalks to claim the men’s trophy, beating last year’s tally of 64ft (19.5m).

Defending women’s champion Beth Hodges retained her title, consuming 64ft of nettles – beating her own record of 60ft (18.3m), set in 2023.
