Summer time = Festival time = Leeds and Reading Festival

The annual Leeds and Reading festival is a highlight for all who love music and is a great way to spend the British August Bank Holiday weekend (the long public holiday we have from 26 -29 August). 

The Bournemouth Air Festival is the most popular seafront airshow, which attracts visitors due to the action and entertainment on land, at sea and in the air.
