What’s On
From chasing a wheel of cheese down a steep hill to dancing around a maypole to watching performers in a theatre that has stood in place since the 1700s, there are plenty of heritage events taking place all over the UK.
Whether you’re looking for a trip to London’s west end, the chance to chance to join in Hogmany in Scotland or Bog Snorkelling in Wales, there is always something uniquely British taking place. Cheer on your favourite team at a long running sporting event, applaud the end of an Elizabethan tragedy at the Globe Theatre or dance to your favourite band at a music festival.
Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it here!
