Britain is a country full of curious customs, odd observances and peculiar practices. Often very localised, many of these strange festivals and celebrations have been carried out for generations and still survive today. From runaway wheels of cheese to violent mass sports, these habits are uniquely British. Join Liam on a tour of some of Britain’s more eccentric local traditions.
