How to Spend the August Bank Holiday

August 23, 2019

It’s the last one we will have before Christmas so make the most of it! With the sun set to shine on this three-day weekend, we have found a whole host of ways you could spend it, whether that be time spent dancing, watching films, indulging in food and drink or a going on a long walk. Here are some ideas on how to spend it.

The perfect accompaniment to the sun is definitely ice-cream, so it is highly recommended you head over to Covent Garden Cool Down this Bank Holiday and join in their five day festival.
