Watch the the world famous Onion Eating Competition!
At 1pm the audience will gather at the main stage for the great Onion Eating Competition. Competitors come from far and wide to attempt this feat.
The first round of the competition is the Ladies event. Each entrant is given a 5 ounce peeled raw onion to consume in the fastest possible time.
The second round sees the men chomp their way through an even bigger onion, a whopping 7 ouncer, like it's an apple.
Once the onion is consumed the contestant has to hold their arms outstretched and mouth wide open for the judges to declare them the winner.
If you fancy a go, just leave your name with the team at the main stage
and turn up at 1pm. Happy chomping - and don't forget the mouthwash!
