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:
“Whatever offices of life are performed by women of culture and refinement are thenceforth elevated; they cease to be mere servile toils, and become expressions of the ideas of superior beings.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
