Celebrate Yorkshire Day with some Yorkshire Dialect!
This entertaining video features Alan & Carol Walker from Yorkshire Dialect who skilfully recite a selection of traditional Yorkshire poems in Celebration of Yorkshire Day. Just grand!
Yorkshire Day is celebrated on 1 August to promote the historic English county of Yorkshire. It was celebrated in 1975, by the Yorkshire Ridings Society, initially in Beverley, as "protest movement against the Local Government re-organisation of 1974", The date alludes to the Battle of Minden, and also the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, for which a Yorkshire MP, William Wilberforce, had campaigned.
Many celebrations of Yorkshire Day now take place all over the county, and indeed, around the world. Yorkshire Day Celebrations range from gatherings of family and friends to civic ceremonies, or can be as simple as reminding each other what's great about Yorkshire.
