Wrestling shows are the loudest item in our catalogue. A ring, two performers, a lot of mess and a groom who ends up in the middle of it. Choose by how clean you want to leave.
Choose your ring
- Jelly wrestlingA paddling pool full of jelly. Bright, sticky and the least hazardous of the three.
- Oil wrestlingTwo performers wrestle in oil while the group cheers. Clean enough to go on to dinner afterwards.
- Mud wrestlingThe messiest. Best at the start of an afternoon, not the end of an evening.
How it works
Round 1
The performers
Two performers wrestle for a few minutes to warm up the room.
Round 2
The groom
The best man hands over the groom, who has been given a swimsuit he did not choose.
Round 3
The group
The challengers can join if they volunteer. No one is forced.
What to bring
- Swimwear that you do not mind losing.
- A towel and a change of clothes.
