The Queen has announced an extra bank holiday to mark her Diamond Jubilee, 60 years on the throne!

What are you going to be doing with this four day weekend? The Weekend is from 2-5th June, and in Summer to boot!

With festivities happening all around the UK, you'll be sure to catch some merriment. But with a four day weekend why not take a holiday! All those long hard hours working deserve a break. Take a Campervan trip around our beautiful country and catch a festival or event here and there or join the Queen in her celebrations.

On Sunday the third, the celebrations will include a special pageant on the River Thames where Queen Elizabeth will lead a flotilla of 1,000 boats. Have a shared lunch with fellow campervanners oin the Sunday as the Queen encourages neighbours and friends to partake in street parties and picnic lunches.

On Monday 4th June will be the Diamond Jubilee Concert. Tickets are available by public ballot. Along with this, Beacons will be lit by communities and individuals throughout the UK.

On Tuesday 5th June, A service of thanksgiving and a carriage procession will take place.

Head into London and join in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations or take part in festivals and events all around the UK, happening on this long weekend. An example is the Bolesworth Classic... A great British Show. Spend the weekend at the show camping up in your campervan. Find an event around the country that suits you and travel there and camp there in a campervan! What fun it would be!
