If your family's idea of a perfect summer Saturday involves giant bubbles, acrobats, science experiments and dancing on a hillside with all of London spread out below, Kaleidoscope Festival might be the day out for you.
Yes, it's hot. Cool off with icy garden games, play hide-and-seek in a shady forest, or lay in the long grass of a meadow and count butterflies. Or seek refuge in a gallery; find celebrations of fairy tales and huge, community-shaped artworks. Plus free festivals and witchy walks!
Light evenings and mornings mean more time for fun. Celebrate solstice with a dawn dip or magical ferns, or cool off with ice play or snacking on frozen yoghurt bark. Plus free festivals galore and games to play on your bikes!
The sun is warming our backs and we're well and truly out out. Brew up a flask of bobble tea, and get out to celebrate Beltane, gather daisies for brewing and find shells to make mermaid necklaces. Plus street theatre and family shows come to Great Yarmouth, Brighton and Edinburgh!
For a few precious weeks each spring, Britain’s woodlands are transformed. Beneath newly leafing canopies, native bluebells unfurl in drifts of deep violet and soft blue, creating one of the most iconic sights in the countryside.
April holidays are almost upon us. It's cold outside, but the sun is strong. Forage, watch migrating birds, listen for cuckoos, search for chocolate eggs, and find sticks for your Walpurgisnacht broom. Or head to the city to visit brand new museums and celebrate science and diversity!
