Not so much a sporting occasion as a celebration of buffoonery and sporting ineptitude, orchestrated by The Chap magazine, for gentlemen (and gentlewomen) of good taste, The Chap Olympiad is a spiffing sporting event. Bedford Square Gardens, centred on one of the best preserved set pieces of Georgian architecture in London, is a fitting backdrop for such a distinguished sporting event. The ten Olympic races can all be entered by members of the public - as long as they're not wearing sportswear. Sporting events include Umbrella Jousting, using bicycles and brollies instead of horses and lances and the Tug of Hair in which a rope is substituted for a lengthy handlebar moustache. Yikes! Good old fashioned fun for tweed loving chaps and chapettes - and this year the event runs over a full two days with music and dancing and Pimms by the bucket load. Tickets are available from Bourne & Hollingsworth or www.ticketweb.co.uk. To find out more go to www.thechap.net.About Bedford Square Gardens
Bedford Square Gardens, the private garden in the centre of the Georgian Bedford Square, is a peaceful green spot in Bloomsbury named after the Dukes of Bedford who owned the estate on which it was built in the 1770s. Available to local residents and businesses, it can also be hired for events and functions for a fee. More about Bedford Square Gardens
