The traditional event, whose roots are shrouded in mystery but may well date back 600 years, now attracts competitors from across the world, and is classed as an extreme sport.
The hill, which has a 1:2 gradient, is not for the faint hearted, but that does not deter the people who slip, slide and bounce down it for the honour of being named the winner and keeping the cheese.
We'll be following this year's cheese rolling all day, with plenty of live updates, insights and footage from the scene.
