Competitors are preparing to clown about in the 43rd world custard pie championships near Maidstone.
Teams at the event in the village of Coxheath are given maximum points for throwing a pie squarely into their opponents’ faces.
Judges can also award up to five points for the most original and amusing throwing techniques.
The championships were started in 1967 by councillor Mike Fitzgerald to help raise funds to build a village hall.
The event, which was inspired by the Charlie Chaplin comedy, Behind The Screen, starts at 1445 BST.
