Long Term planning/ Dates For Your Diary

I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas. I've been thinking and planning ahead for next year and I've put together a list of festivals, celebrations and charity events through out the year to help me plan which I would like to cover in my setting. Although it may be that we don't get round to covering them all I like to have a good list to pick from.

Most of the dates listed are based on celebrations in the UK which is where I am from. If you have any other dates you think may be useful please feel free to leave them in a comment below.
