"How many times have you gone to..."?

[Molly]

Can you use “How many times have you gone to that/this festival/church/film/country, etc?” in British English?

As a regional version of course.

Why would you see it as not fitting to whatever is supposed to be in BrE?

See here for my doubts:

And one of my questions there:

What would you say is the difference in meaning and context here?

Since then I’ve gone to that festival every year.

How would a Brit read those?
