Famous county-wide, The King's Arms is located in the quaint and quiet town of Haxey, near Doncaster in Lincolnshire. Haxey is a large parish on the southern border of the Isle of Axholme. It consists of the villages of Haxey and Westwoodside with the hamlets of High Burnham, Low Burnham, Eastlound and Graiselound. In earlier days, Westwoodside was divided into Park, Newbigg, Nethergate, Upperthorpe (or Overthorpe) and Commonside. The pub is famous for the annual event that takes almost the whole of the following year to recover from, The Haxey Hood. The Haxey Hood is a traditional event on the afternoon of 6 January, the Twelfth Day of Christmas (though if this falls on a Sunday, it is held on 5 January). It is a kind of large rugby football scrum (called the "sway"), which pushes a leather tube (called the "hood") to 1 of 4 pubs, where it remains until the following year's game.
