In the
North West of England, church and chapel parades called
whit walks still take place at this time (sometimes on
Whit Friday, the Friday after Whitsun).
[8] Typically, the parades include brass bands and choirs; girls attending are dressed in white. Traditionally, Whit fairs (sometimes called
Whitsun ales[9]) took place. Other customs, such as
Morris dancing, were associated with Whitsun, although in most cases they have been transferred to the Spring bank holiday.
Whaddon, Cambridgeshire has its own Whitsun tradition of singing a unique song around the village before and on Whit Sunday itself.
