The May Bank Holiday’s hold a lot of excitement and promise, given that the weather should be warmer and restrictions have eased slightly.

We know you’re eager to fill up your social calendars and we wanted to give you some insight into what you can get up to this Bank Holiday weekend, be it Al fresco dining or even some fun activities with the kids, we’ve got you covered.

Unfortunately, as the Early May Bank Holiday falls on 3^rd May the roadmap for restrictions on step 2 remains the same, however if all goes to plan we may be able to enjoy further restrictions lifting just in time for the Spring bank holiday that falls on 31^st May.

This means that for this upcoming Bank Holiday you will be able to meet friends and family following the rule of six, or two households, in your private garden, a picnic outdoors, in a beer garden, or take the kids for a day out at the zoo.

The Zoo has been closed for ages and we think this could be a really fun activity to do as a family over the Bank Holiday weekend, it’s something a little different, would make the perfect date night or a wonderful way to keep the kids entertained, plus who can say no to visiting some of the cutest animals especially the fun, playful and mischievous penguins- Make sure to book in advance.
