Celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee in style!

---

With the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations fast approaching, what better excuse to get away from it all and enjoy a bit of quality time with your loved ones? With two consecutive bank holidays (Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June) giving you a four-day weekend, if you haven’t got any plans yet, now’s the time to make some!

Hitch up the caravan or get the motorhome out of storage and head off to enjoy the long weekend - hopefully the weather will be kind! If you just want to make the most of the extra time off with a few days away, great! Or you could look into how you could really take part in the Jubilee Celebrations...

There are celebrations taking place up and down the country, so if you fancy getting involved, it’s not too late! Search what’s going on in different areas and make your decision on where to head to and what to do…
