Stuck for ideas for the August Bank Holiday weekend? Why not nip out for a day (or a weekend) to The Long Road festival? From the dreamy grounds of Stanford Hall, you’ll find a huge slice of stateside culture waiting for you. Getting there is easy – alight at Rugby station where you can catch a festival shuttle bus to take you straight to the heart of it all (tickets available on the festival website). We hear the chicken wings are real tasty, too.

Kendal Calling

Lowther Deer Park, Penrith

Penrith will chime with spectacular sounds this August with Kendal Calling promising a line-up of legendary acts and greatly received newcomers on its many stages. And if you haven’t heard of their fancy dress theme, there is some catching up you need to do. Smack bang in the beautiful Lake District, this summer shindig is one hell of a party. We know – we’ve lived it!
