Things to do this Summer

HANG OUT AT A BEER GARDEN

A classic British favourite: head down to one of your local beer gardens and enjoy some drinks with friends in the sun.

MAKE COCKTAILS (OR MOCKTAILS)

Grab a friend or two, look up some tasty cocktail recipes, throw some of your favourite together and sip them in the sunshine.

HAVE A BACK-GARDEN 'FESTIVAL'

Play a festival-style playlist or some live festival coverage, dress up, get some seats set up in your back garden, and spend the day singing, dancing and getting tipsy with friends.

VISIT A FOOD FESTIVAL

Summer is the perfect time for outdoor food festivals. Keep an eye out for one happening in your local area!

GO TO THE BEACH

And remember – it’s not a trip to the beach without fish & chips and ice cream!

HAVE A PICNIC

Find a nice area (a field, a park, next to a lake... maybe even your back garden!), lay down a picnic blanket or two, and tuck in to some good food. Something home-made? Store-bought? Maybe take-out? The choice is up to you!

RENT PEDALOS 

Rent some pedalos and go pedalling on the lake with your bestie or your partner. Cute!

MAKE A SUMMER PLAYLIST

Get yourself in the mood by putting together a summer playlist or two. (I already have a chilled out summer playlist, an uplifting summer playlist *and* a summer jams playlist… I might have gotten a bit carried away!)

GO CAMPING

Whether you visit a proper camp-site or just pitch up a tent somewhere random with friends, camping is always fun. You could always choose to camp in your back garden, too!

GO FOR ICE CREAM in the park

Go for a stroll through the park, buy yourself some ice cream and soak up the nice weather. You could always take some pretty snaps for Instagram, too!

HAVE A BARBEcUE

There's nothing quite like the smell of a barbecue on a hot summer’s day. *Drool* Even better if you invite some friends round to join the cookout!

VISIT A FAIRGROUND OR THEME-PARK

Unleash your inner child and spend the day at a fairground or theme park. Try out all of the rides, and don’t forget to buy some candyfloss!

 

EXPLORE

Nice weather provides the perfect opportunity to go out and explore local areas. Visit new places, take a look around, and see what hidden treasures you uncover!

GO STRAWBERRY PICKING

On a sunny day, go strawberry picking at a local field. Once you’ve brought them home, you could bake with them, blend them up for a smoothie, dip them in chocolate, serve them with cream… The options are endless!

EAT OUTSIDE

Eating outside is such a simple thing to do, but it always reminds me of being away on holiday. So go ahead and make the most of the good weather while it lasts!

HOST A GARDEN PARTY

Grab the bunting, the plastic cups and the fairy-lights, blast out your favourite summer jams, and throw a cute little party in your back garden with friends!

SNUGGLE UP AROUND A CAMPFIRE

Snuggle up around a fire with blankets, toast some marshmallows, have a few drinks and enjoy a chilled evening with good company.

WATCH THE SUNSET

Take a late-night drive to a pretty or high-up place, bring some food and your favourite people (or person!), and sit back together while you watch the sunset.

DOCUMENT YOUR SUMMER

Last but not least – don’t forget to document your adventures! Make happy memories this summer that will last a life-time.
