When Should I Travel in Britain?

Here at adeo Travel, we are always here to help if you have any queries before, during or after travel. One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive is to do with when to travel in Britain. This blog should help answer some of the questions you might have.

If you are a fan of hot weather, our temperatures reach their peak in July & August so consider enquiring for these months if you want to attempt to catch a tan while on your travels (the heat here may not be as intense as where you are from!).
Certain events such as the Edinburgh Tattoo only occur in August so if you are interested in being immersed in Scottish culture then this month is definitely for you.

For those of you that wish to avoid the crowd, perhaps consider travelling in May or June. In these months we still have pleasant weather, but sights and attractions will be less busy due to schools still being in session. There is also likely to be enhanced availability for accommodations and tours during these months which may benefit you.

If weather isn’t a concern to you, why not consider travelling in winter? Travel in December will see you be able to visit the famous markets of Bath and York. There is also the potential of snow which will get you right into the mood for Christmas.

If you are after an authentic experience in England, Scotland or Wales, you could consider aligning your travel dates with the days of the patron saints. For travellers in England, St George’s Day is April 23^rd, St Andrews Day in Scotland is November 30^th and St David of Wales’ day is March 1^st.

Another important thing to bear in mind when enquiring for your Britain vacation is that we have a set of Bank Holidays throughout the calendar year. On these days, most attractions will be closed and demand will be fairly high due to most of the population being off school and work. Below are the scheduled Bank Holidays for 2017 in Britain:

Monday 2^nd January – New Year’s Day (substitute day)
Friday 14^th April – Good Friday
Monday 17^th April – Easter Monday
Monday 1^st May – May Day
Monday 29^th May – Spring Bank Holiday
Monday 28^th August – Summer Bank Holiday
Monday 25^th December – Christmas Day
Tuesday 26^th December – Boxing Day
