Culture
The annual Cumberworth Carnival is usually held within the grounds of the first school. The carnival includes a parade of floats, one of which carries the carnival king and queen for the year, who are usually pupils of the first school. Marquees host stalls selling cakes, plants and books, alongside tombolas and games. The carnival usually includes demonstrations from local groups such as the flyball and the dog agility group 'Springers', and the model helicopter group. For the 2007 carnival the evening event included a live band for the second year running and a barbecue.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The treatment of African and African American culture in our education was no different from their treatment in Tarzan movies.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
“All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
