Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in England. It was traditionally held by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, Gloucestershire, but now people from all over the world take part. "The Guardian" newspaper called it a "world-famous event", with winners from the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Nepal. The event is traditional and takes its name from the steep hill on which it occurs. Until recent years, it was managed in a quasi-official
Coopers Brewery Society. Public outcry arose over the use of the Coopers Brewery branded beer in a video of the Bible Society debate over the issue of marriage equality. Coopers Brewery issued two statements on 12 March 2017 in response to the backlash and also posted a tweet saying they were not trying to push a religious message. Various venues in Melbourne and Sydney subsequently announced they would no longer be stocking Coopers beers. On 14 March Coopers issued a further statement and accompanying video declaring they were cancelling the release of the Bible Society commemorative cans and joining Australian Marriage Equality.
