Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. This saying is key when it comes to planning your wicked summer, and you’ll be glad to hear you don’t even have to jump on a plane to enjoy the great outdoors. Here are the best London and UK Festivals to add to your calendar. I know it’s May but with the sun out tickets are flying out the door so a lot of these events are on 3rd release tickets already – so don’t hesitate if you want to get a decent deal on your entry price.
