Need a bank holiday getaway? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Whenever we seem to have a bank holiday weekend in the UK the weather always turns bad. It can never be sunny when were off work and have chance to get away. But come rain or shine, we’ve got you covered so you can have an amazing weekend off!

An increasing drive for healthier lifestyles is spilling over into the way we holiday according to Euromonitor’s Global Trends Report 2016, and the microadventure is a key component of this trend. Defined by British adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys as ‘small and achievable, for normal people with real lives’, busy holidaymakers are opting to spend some of their holiday or a short break experiencing destinations in a more active way by taking part in a microadventure. From white water adventures in London’s Lea Valley to kayaking in the Loire valley, horse-riding in Andalucía to climbing Mount Vesuvius or enjoying one of Budapest’s spas, microadventures can be affordable and easily achievable. Almost one in ten (9%) people took an activity holiday in 2016 according to ABTA research, and the microadventure looks set to boost this further in 2017.

If a UK break isn’t really what you were after then why not book a short city break this bank holiday weekend? Jet off to Barcelona and get some last-minute sunshine.
