Fill in the Blanks LIC 4 - REAL LIFE - British School GroupOnline version defining and non defining relative clauses by Dyonne van Mulekom 1 We were supposed to find information about weird festivals and celebrations in England . Here's the peculiar one that I've found . . . The Egremont Crab Fair , has been celebrated since the thirteenth century , is one of the oldest fairs in England . The small town of Egremont in Cumbria , it takes place , was granted the right to hold a market and a fair King Henry the II in 1266 . The fair got its name from crab apples . An Apple Cart Parade , when apples thrown into the crowd , is still part of the celebrations . There are other traditional events , such greasy pole climbing and a pipe smoking contest , but the event which has made Egremont famous is the World Gurning Championships . 'Gurning' means something like 'making ugly faces' . Participants , come from all over the world , try to make the ugliest , most ridiculous faces they can manage . The person face impresses the judges the most is the winner . In 2002 , BBC presenter Michaela Stachan , went to Egremont to report on the fair , took in the competition as a joke and won .
