Hallaton is well-known for its annual Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking, which attract visitors in festival-like spirit every Easter. The event dates back to the 18th century and is played against the neighbouring village of Medbourne with the 'rival' villagers competing to carry barrels of beer over the villages' boundaries. The winner is carried shoulder high to Hallaton's Butter Cross to sample the beer with the celebrations continuing in the local pubs.
