Summer in the UK may feel like it's winding down, but there are still plenty of exciting activities to enjoy. Whether the sun is shining or the clouds are looming, these options will keep the whole family entertained and engaged.
Attend an Outdoor Event
Britain is brimming with festivals and outdoor gatherings during the summer, and we are currently in the peak season for them.
- Going to a festival doesn’t have to mean trudging through a muddy field of drunken people to watch a rock band play.
- There are plenty of alternatives to that.
- You name it, and there’s a festival dedicated to it.
I’m serious, there’s even a UK festival dedicated to garlic! Suffolk is the best place to go for festivals, as they are held every weekend throughout the summer.
There’s something for everyone, including: Folk music festivals Literary festivals Family fun days Comedy festivals Visual arts events
Discover Britain’s Heritage
This year marks the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, making it a perfect time to delve into Britain’s rich history.
Your first stop should be the grand Waterloo Chamber located at Windsor Castle. Here, you can explore artifacts from the time and learn all you could want to know about one of the most significant battles in history.
If that’s not quite your cup of tea, don’t worry! There are plenty of other heritage experiences to enjoy.
- This year, King Richard III’s remains were buried after being discovered under a car park in Leicester.
- He died in 1485, and now you can learn about his life and see where he’s buried by visiting the exhibition on display at Leicester Cathedral.
