ESTABLISHED 1980
THE LEGACY OF WORM CHARMING
Since Tom Shufflebotham first charmed 511 worms from a local patch in 1980, the FWSA has transformed this unique tradition into a global phenomenon. What started as a school fundraiser has grown into the World Worm Charming Championships, bringing enthusiasts from across the globe to our organic fields for a day of spirited competition and local community celebration.
