5 Eccentric British Traditions you shouldn’t miss

We love a good tradition herein Britain and the more eccentric, the more heartily we seem to embrace it. The British calendar is full of quirky events that demonstrate our love for absurd customs, and it feels as though the more we move towards a digital age, the more we cling to these reminders of a simpler time in our nation’s history. Some of the events on this list are hundreds of years old; others are more recent inventions in the spirit of older traditions. But they all have one thing in common: they’re part of our national – eccentric – identity. And we love them!
