One of the key assets of Bury is its people. According to the 2001 Census the total population of the borough was 180,608 and these people are from a range of ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds.
The following pages taken from our booklet A Celebration of Bury have been designed to provide you with a brief insight into some of the beliefs and customs of the people who make up the Borough of Bury and to bring our different communities together so we value and appreciate our diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
To complement this, you can access the dates of some of the main religious and cultural festivals in our quarterly calendars.
