Festival season is still in full swing this month, so there’s plenty going on for music-lovers. And even if you don’t fancy standing in a muddy field with screaming teenagers, the lengthy daylight hours mean there’s still lots to do all over the country. Take advantage of the last few weeks of warm weather and spend it outdoors.
August – BBC Proms, LondonThe BBC Proms are still on, so if you haven’t had time to go, there’s still more than a month for you to catch up. Ticket prices start from £5, and you’ll be welcome whether you’re dressed up or down. Events this month include Multiple Pianos Day – a showcase for music written for two or more pianos. There are also several family events taking place, so you can get stuck into making music (or noise) as a family!
August 7th – 8th – Great British Beer Festival, LondonIf you’re more comfortable chugging ale in a pub then listening to a chorale in a park, then head on over to Earl’s Court. This beer lovers’ festival features over 400 beers (as well as ales, ciders, lagers, bitters and stouts). There will also be a special bar dedicated to serving gluten-free, vegan, organic and coeliac-friendly brews. Tickets cost £8 a day or £23 for the whole festival, with concessions available for CAMRA members.
Aug 14th – September 6th – Edinburgh International FestivalOne of the most wellknown festivals around, the Edinburgh International Festival is back again this year. You’ll be spoilt for choice this year, as it offers more than 100 events to choose from during its 3 week run. The Fringe Festival runs alongside it, and is a great chance to catch many up-and-coming performers before they get famous. Ticket prices vary according to events.
Aug 30th – 31st – Notting Hill Carnival, LondonThis free street carnival has had a colourful past, and still offers a big bang to end your summer. Children’s Day is on Sunday, and is generally less crowded and noisy. You’ll be able to have a better view of the procession then. The main event takes place on Monday, with plenty of colourfully costumed performers and raucous music all day. If you’re still up for more partying after that, snap on a sequinned bra and head to one of several after parties in nearby venues.
