5 Things To Do On Bank Holiday Weekend!

Camp

Put down your phone and put up a tent, escape the city and make the most of the great outdoors! Camping is a great way to spend quality time with those closest to you, whether it's playing games, cooking or passing on skills and learning a few for yourself. There are so many beautiful places to camp in the UK but here are a few of our favourite spots.

This weekend is bank holiday, which means there is still time to make the most of the warm weather before the summer comes to an end. If you haven't made any plans yet for the three-day weekend, you have come to the right place - Here are our top tips for making the most of Bank Holiday.

Dance Calling all party people to Notting Hill Carnival! Celebrating Caribbean culture in London since 1966, the carnival takes place over the bank holiday weekend and features a parade and amazing live music courtesy of 37 static soundsystems. Last year an estimated 2 million people attended europe's largest street party to experience the exhilarating and colourful spectacle, this is one party you want to visit at least once in your life!
