WHEN

Something odd
every month.

Britain never really stops being strange. January brings straw bears and Viking galleys, February is Shrovetide football and pancake races, May is peak season for ’Obby ’Osses and cheese rolling, August has bog snorkelling, and the year ends with bonfires, Boxing Day dips and Hogmanay fireballs.
