There is so much you can do here in the UK this summer to escape the World Cup, Wimbledon, Big Brother and Britain’s Got Talent.
There are many things to enjoy that won’t cost you anything, popular during the summer are fringe events which take place all over the country and are great for the whole family to enjoy, look out for one near you! Local summer fetes are also a great way to meet your neighbours and are great for the local community especially if you’re holidaying in the area.
If you want to enjoy some sporting activities for free head off to see the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, this tradition has been going for more than 150 years as both do battle on the Thames, some great spots to watch for free include Putney Bridge, Putney Embankment and Bishops Park (at the start), Hammersmith and Barnes (mid-course) and Dukes Meadows and Chiswick Bridge (at the finish).
There are great walking tours to take around many of the UK cities, many of which are available as pod casts and can be downloaded ready for you to use to explore.
Another great way to enjoy your free time for free is to take a tour of many of the UK’s main museums and galleries, entry to these are free as are the tours! The British Museum in London offers short tours that concentrate on different parts of their collection, the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has one-hour tours and the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff has a range of themed tours.
