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:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
