Football is the most popular sport in Britain. The football season in Britain is very long, and there are official matches for eight months in a year. This is an ancient sport, which was popular in France, Italy, Britain and other countries as early as the Middle Ages. The first football association in the world was established in England on 1863. There are countless amateur football teams in China, and there are more than 90 professional football clubs, with at least one in every big city.

Many people sign up for such schools every year, which shows that the British are very interested in music.

Whenever near the end of summer, in order to hold this kind of concert, the concert hall removes the seats in the concert hall, leaving only a few seats in the surrounding corridor. After the audience entered, they all stood up to enjoy the music. In this way, the concert hall can accommodate more listeners and has a unique relaxed and natural atmosphere.
