June Festival and Events Roundup

An overview of events and festivals throughout the UK during the month of June

June has the most hours of daylight - 18 to 20 hours in some parts of the UK - so it's natural that people want to get out of doors to enjoy it. There are loads of open air music festivals, lots of flower shows and plenty to do on balmy days. Weather Tip: The days usually are pretty balmy - not too hot, not too chilly. But bring a brolly and a light jacket just in case.
