The Whitebread Meadown in Bourne is a 'running auction' to let the grazing rights of nearby field. Bidding takes place while two boys race toward the Queen's Bridge in Eastgate. The arrival of the race winner at the finish line signals the end of the bidding. The tradition dates back to the 1742 will of William Clay and in later years has attracted Morris dancers and musicians.
