Holidays in Great Britain

Learning English and not knowing English holidays? This is nonsense, and short-sighted: if you find yourself in Britain in August, it would be a shame not to see a representative of the carnival in Europe, in the rocks - the amazing fireworks of Guy Fawkes Night, in June - the celebration of the official Queen's Birthday.

Valentine's Day: February 14th

Although Valentine's Day is not a public holiday, it is still very much loved by the English.

 

Legends associate this day with the figure of Saint Valentine, who helped unhappy lovers get married. The date of the holiday falls on the day of the saint's execution.

 

It is customary to dedicate this day to your loved ones: give them valentine cards and arrange romantic dinners together.
