What are the customs and cultures in Britain
1. English summer Morris dancing
It's a 500-year-old tradition that started in the 15th century and has been passed down from generation to generation! If you happen to meet a British person dancing the Morris dance, they will invite you to join in
2. British Maypole Dance
Yes, British people dance whenever it's a holiday! Maypole dancing is very popular in the UK and Europe, and generally, in the UK, in May, it starts to become popular. The dance originated in Wales in the 14th century. People dance around the Maypole to pray for a good harvest, and it's a great opportunity for people to get together. What a fun way to celebrate
3. The British Spring Cheese Rolling contest
Every year on Cooper's Hill in Gloucester, the British have a cheese rolling contest. It's usually held on the British Spring Bank Holiday, when the British chase 9 pounds of Gloucestershire cheese down the hill. This festival celebrates the end of winter! I have to say, the British really know how to play!
4. Bonfire night in winter
Fireworks, bonfires, sparks and lots of apple-flavored toffee, that's what Bonfire night is all about. It's a good thing Guy Fawkes didn't blow up the Houses of Parliament in the 17th century, or else what kind of fireworks would there be?
5. Marsh diving ironman competition in Wales in the summer
One of the strangest races in the UK is the Welsh Swamp Diving Ironman Competition. Generally speaking, this competition is held in the summer, so if you are going to participate, then you'd better prepare wet clothes, because the swamp is still quite cold!

This festival is usually held on the first Sunday in February. Everyone can take part. Every year, thousands of people in the UK will take part in this competition, and the winner will get a 5p prize
7. Winter Scottish New Year's Eve
It is held every year on the evening of December 31st. It started as a Scottish festival and is now famous all over the world. Every year, major British cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen join the party. Music, whiskey, street parties, and "Auld Lang Syne" are all important for the atmosphere
8. Burns Dinner in Scotland in winter
Every year on January 25, the Scottish people have the custom of holding the Burns Dinner, which is in memory of the famous English poet - Robert Burns, and opened a festival. If you don't know Robert Burns, go face the wall!
