In Great Britain, there is a light-hearted sport, known as wellie wanging, which involves the throwing of Wellington boots as far as possible.
The boot has also given its name to the welly boot dance, said to have been performed by miners in Africa to keep their spirits up whilst working.

The Wellington Boot, or The Wellie, is also a musical venue in the Westgate area of Rotherham, in the English county of South Yorkshire. The venue has been running since 1999[1].
