GOV.UK writes:
Nominations will open this summer for traditions like Notting Hill Carnival, Hogmanay and artisanal crafts to be officially recognised.
- New inventory of traditions will champion UK values and heritage
- Follows ratification of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Culture Heritage last year
Communities across the UK will soon be able to nominate their favourite traditions to be included within official inventories of our living heritage.
Traditions that are central to the rich tapestry which makes up the UK’s many cultures and identity – from Eisteddfodau to Notting Hill Carnival, Hogmanay and Highland dancing – are among those expected to be put forward for a UK-wide official inventory. Artisanal crafts such as basket-weaving, thatching and the art of creating tweed, will also be considered.
