Twelfth Night is an annual seasonal celebration held on the Bankside by Shakespeare's Globe, in London. It is a celebration of the New Year, mixing ancient Midwinter seasonal customs with contemporary festivity.

Twelfth Night (5th January) is when all Christmas Decorations should be removed so as not to bring bad luck upon the home.

The people playing the bears either dress in costumes made of straw, or are actually wrapped in straw.

The abiding influence of the Vikings, who arrived in Shetland just over 1000 years ago, is celebrated on the last Tuesday of January every year, by the largest fire festival in Europe - "Up Helly Aa".

After a torch-light procession of up to a thousand "guizers" through the streets of Lerwick a full- size replica Viking longship is ceremonially burned. The "guizers" and onlookers then repair to local halls for a night of revelry, dancing and partying. Summer visitors can get a flavour of this mid-winter extravaganza at the Up Helly Aa exhibition in Lerwick where the regalia, props, costumes and a replica longship are on display.

АПХЕЛИО (конец января) В IX веке Шетландские острова подверглись нападению викингов. Этому событию и посвящен знаменитый традиционно шотландский праздник Up Helly aa в главном городе Шетландских островов Лервикке (Lerwick). Жители делают 30-футовую модель корабля викингов, переодеваются в наряды викингов, берут в руки факелы и через весь город несут корабль к морю. На побережье его сжигают – таков обычай викингов, принятый для похорон воинов и вождей. Надо сказать, что Шотландская земля довольно долго подвергалась набегам викингов, поэтому многие традиционные для этой территории праздненства несут в себе отпечаток скандинавской культуры. Сегодня шетландцы гордятся подобной историей и связью со знаменитыми скандинавскими пиратами.

The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom. It is said to be a time of love and romance.

It's an amazing fact, that for more than 50 years her Majesty celebrates her birthday twice a year. The Queen's actual birthday is on 21 April, BUT it has long been customary to celebrate the Sovereigns birthday publicly on a day during the summer, when better weather is more likely.

Since 1805, the Sovereigns 'official' summer birthday has been marked by the Trooping the Colour ceremony, which is also known as the Queen's Birthday Parade, and is normally held on the second Saturday in June. The list of Birthday Honours is also announced at the time of the UK Official Birthday celebrations. The day is also marked by the flying of the Union flag on government buildings
