What’s on in August?

If you fancy getting out and about this August, there are lots of great events to enjoy around the UK.

Things to do in August

There are lots of things going on around the UK this month. With so many to choose from, we decided to pick out a few events that particularly appealed to us:

If you like the idea of seeing the sky full of hot air balloons, why not head to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta . It takes place on 8th – 11th August and for many, the highlight of the festival is the night glow. This stunning spectacle involves 30 ballooning teams lighting up their tethered balloons to a backdrop of spectacular fireworks and music.
