Local Traditions

As a developed and multi-cultural society with a long-recorded history, the UK has numerous traditions, some national, some regional. From Maypole dancing on May 1st to Cheese rolling and 'Straw Bear Festivals' they range from bizarre to downright crazy. Many have been passed down through generations over 100's of years.
