This weekend is the last bank holiday weekend of the year for everyone in the UK (aside from the Christmas Break, of course). As such it’s a great chance to get to some events that are taking place across the country, and outside of it. Here are a couple of hand-picked events for people with a bit of spare time this weekend looking for something to be getting up to.
London: Notting Hill Carnival, 24th – 25th August
One of the biggest events to hit London all year, Notting Hill Carnival takes place in and around the London Borough of the same name every year. It’s two days of colour and sound as the parade comes down the street while music is blasting from every corner and food and drinks are sold on every corner. It’s a completely free event to attend and one certainly not to be missed if you’re in the area.
Cardiff: Cardiff Harbour Festival, 23rd – 25th August
Part of the much larger Cardiff Festival, Cardiff Harbour Festival is three days of extreme sailing at Cardiff Bay. The whole of the Bay comes to life as people from all over the country travel to Cardiff to see the boats compete, along with the rest of the activities which fill up the surrounding area. It’s completely free to enter, although some activities do cost a little bit.
Stockholm: Running 23rd – 24th August
It may not be a bank holiday in Stockholm, but there’s plenty of fun to be had. On the 23rd you can take part in the Colour Run, a 5k event which has no winners. You simply need to get from one side of the course to the other getting covered in as much coloured paint as you can! If you prefer something a bit more serious, the Stockholm Triathlontakes place on the 23rd and 24th of August too.
If you’re planning on visiting Cardiff, London or Stockholm this weekend, make sure you download the Trippa Cardiff, London or Stockholm guide before you go to get all the essential information on the best places to stay, eat, drink, see and shop.
