First held in 1965, the event drew hundreds of people.
One man sported a conker-themed headgear, and another a green inflatable Yoda headpiece.
To make sure the event was as equitable as possible, all players had to go by a strict set of rules, which included the organizers’ provision of conkers and laces.
Prior to the event, there were concerns that severe winds earlier in the fall may sweep horse chestnut seeds from trees, causing a conker shortage.
