Ten Lifestyle

England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Held each year on the last Monday in August, this holiday was created over a century ago to allow bank workers to go to a cricket match. These days, it’s the perfect excuse to get away on a short break in the UK or Europe, before the summer is out – which our lifestyle managers can help you organise by suggesting destinations, booking flights, arranging accommodation and suggesting an array of activities in keeping with your interests. Or you might decide that partying with hundreds of thousands of others is in order, in which case the Notting Hill Carnival will sate your appetite. We can give you a full list of what’s happening there nearer the time.

If you would rather wind down at home with a bit of much needed DIY or gardening, we can help with that too – our home team are full of tips and advice on all manner of tasks, as well as able to recommend a professional to take the work off your hands.

For sports fans, there’s plenty to keep you occupied, with the Belgian Grand Prix taking place from the Friday to Sunday. We can even get you tickets to see it live, and take over all your travel arrangements. The US Open tennis championship starts on Monday – if you want to watch it on TV while surrounded by fellow enthusiasts, we can suggest pubs and venues near you where you can do just that.

We can also provide you with a range of ideas on fun family days out in your area, events nearby that you’ll be interested in, and lots more.
