The United Kingdom has a rich history of multicultural influences which have led to an extraordinary amount of bizarre traditions between the four countries, but which country outdoes them all? We’ll compare the four countries’ top customs and try some out for ourselves! A little sneak peek at the agenda: we’ve got cheese rolling, Morris dancing, pancake racing and gurning! Hogsmeade and Beltane… What are these? Let’s look at some of the oldest festivals in human history, celebrated exclusively in the United Kingdom!

People are strange. We know this. They always have been and will continue to be for the rest of time. However, in one small corner of the world, people have taken being weird to the extreme, even made it into an art form like sculpture or poetry. Welcome to weird Britain, the home of worm charming, toe wrestling, cheese racing, nettle eating and many more weird and wonderful events and colourful characters. In this workshop we’ll take a look at the extremely weird side of Britain and maybe try a few weird events ourselves. You had better be ready for things to get really weird.

Good day there, how do you do? – Ever heard a native speaker talk like this? Have you ever heard a native speaker ask, „How are you?” The chances are good that you haven’t. The way that English speakers change their language depending on who they’re speaking to is quite dramatic. In this session, we will be looking at the way in which native speakers speak to each other day to day. Just remember to leave your regular phrase book at home: ‘Hello’ and ‘How are you?’ will definitely not be needed, geeza!
