The #Whittlesey #StrawBear is a quaint yet somewhat #pagan custom in a small town near where I live, in which a man and a boy dress up in straw costumes and parade through the streets, accompanied by various #Morris and #Molly dancers, and a few thousand slightly drunken onlookers.
On Sunday the bears are ceremonially burned, in a vaguely #WickerMan-ish way, though I'm told they let the occupants out first.
