Two Bizarre Events in the UK

The Bognor Birdman Competition takes place in Bognor Regins in May. Competitors build strange home-made flying machines or wear unusual costumes and try to "fly" off the pier. The person who flies the furthest wins a large cash prize. Many of the fliers take part to raise money for charity. As many as 40,000 spectators watch this competition every year.

Up-Helly-Aa is held every year on the last Tuesday of January in the Shetland Isles. Up to 1,000 people dressed as Vikings and holding flaming torches pull a Viking galley through the streets. When they reach a certain place, they throw their torches into the galley and burn it. Then, they put on short funny plays in local halls. The festival is very popular both with locals and tourist alike.
