A guide to the United Kingdom’s strangest traditions throughout the year—including Dwile Flonking, Cheese Rolling, Tolling the Devil’s Knell, and more!

Organized by month, nearly one hundred customs from all over the UK are described and their history and purpose explained. For those who want to take their curiosity a little further, the date and location of each event is given, and there is a section at the back of the book listing the contents by region to allow readers to find out if they can experience the events for themselves either by watching or participating.
