As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When you leave your hometown to live somewhere else, you must arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation according to local customs. So, what are the most important holidays in the UK?

1. Christmas

Christmas is the most important holiday in the UK, and it is also the most important holiday for people who believe in Christianity. The festival is also their New Year. Christmas is celebrated on December 25th every year and is mainly used to commemorate the birth of Jesus. On the holiday, the British eat roasted pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas mince pies, etc., and family members have their own gifts.

2. Easter

Easter usually comes on the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox each year. It is said that this day is the day when Jesus Christ resurrected after his death, symbolizing rebirth and hope.

3. Carnival

In fact, Carnival is not a native British festival, but is popular in Europe and the United States, and is usually held in February or March every year. The Notting Hill Carnival in the UK is the largest street culture and arts festival in Europe, but it is famous for its strong Caribbean atmosphere.

In short, there are many important festivals in the UK, so we won’t introduce them to you one by one. However, not all holidays are statutory holidays in the UK, so not all holidays have statutory holidays!
