The best things to do over the May bank holiday
Festivals, city farm fun, seasonal pop-ups and more
If the first of May's bank holidays whetted your appetite for marauding around London and forgetting you have a job for three whole glorious days, never fear, another one is on its way. The second instalment in May’s bill of bank holiday weekends takes place from Saturday May 24 to Monday May 26 2025.
And while the weather may not comply, we're definitely treating it as an excuse to pretend it's summer. There are a loads of weekend-long music festivals taking over London parks, rooftop bars will be taking advantage of the longer spring evenings, and every self-respecting citydweller will be slipping on some birkenstocks and making for the nearest park or beer garden to soak up whatever feeble rays of sun come our way.
Looking for more fun ways to fill those sweet three days off? Read on and get planning.
