The yard or playground of Boston Grammar School is called the Mart Yard, after the annual Beast Mart which used to take place on it. Today that original use of the yard is commemorated by an annual ceremony on or around 10 December in which the Mayor asks the headmaster to grant the students a half-day holiday.
