Countless celebrations take place annually in the United Kingdom ranging from royal to religious and traditional to modern. This great country has been around for almost 1,000 years and has been influenced by many other cultures that existed before its formation.

Over the course of its long history, a diverse array of rich and vibrant special occasions have developed in the UK, many of which are still enjoyed by modern-day residents each year. Starting in January and going all the way through December, this article lists many of the UK's most widely celebrated holidays, festivals, and special occasions.

New Year's Day (January 1)

The night before New Year's Day, many British citizens watch as the clock tower's minute hand finally reaches midnight. (The tower is popularly but incorrectly known as "Big Ben," which is actually the name of the large bell within it.) At this time, Big Ben (the bell) rings in the new year.
Many people celebrate either by having parties at home or by going out to pubs and partying with friends. Some people also make new year's resolutions, as is customary in the United States and many other countries around the world. In Scotland, it is a common tradition to sing "Auld Lang Syne" at midnight to bring in the new year. If you're unfamiliar with this classic tune, check out the video below.
