LONDON GATWI CK
The delicious cream tea is a summer
tradition, so why not enjoy it aboard
the beautiful electric Wiggonholt
canal boat as it glides along the idyllic
Loxwood Link section of the Wey and
Arun canal, surrounded by beautiful
countryside? In the 19th century, the
Wey and Arun Canal formed a vital link,
the only one between the south coast
and the Thames. Today you can enjoy
a 90-minute cruise, departing from the
Canal Centre behind the Onslow Arms
in Loxwood. Booking is essential, cruises
take place on 7th August, and 5th or 19th
September; tickets are £14 per person.
LEEDS BRADFORD
Perhaps the last major music festival of the summer season, Leeds music festival is now
in its 19th year and is expected to be particularly popular after this year’s absence of
Glastonbury from the festival scene. Appearing at Bramham Park from 24th-26th August,
this year’s line-up includes Fall Out Boy, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Panic at the Disco and
Kings of Leon on the main stage. Other highlights are Dua Lipa, Sum 41, Mike Shinoda (of
Linkin Park), Wolf Alice, Courteeners, Skepta, Travis Scott, The Kooks and The Vaccines. You
can take a break from the music and watch some great live comedy on the Alternative
stage – top comedians appearing include Harry Hill, Seann Walsh, Lee Nelson, Tom Lucy, Joel
Dommett and many more. Buy a day ticket or make a full weekend of it and camp too –
Pink Moon Camping has its own dedicated campsite within the festival site, offering various
styles of accommodation. The best part? They’re already set up and waiting for you to arrive.
The Pink Moon tents, tips and kushtis accomodate two to eight people. Or how about a
pre-pitched Podpad, a quirky boutique camping alternative to the traditional tent. Podpads
have various styles of accommodation and cater for two to six people. Leeds’s festival is a
great chance to dance away the last of the summer days, so buy your tickets now at

Near Le Vigen, a short drive south

from South America; lions, zebras and

120 plant species decorate a walk which
takes around four hours.
