Jubilee Bank Holiday

From Windsor to Balmoral, here are the best events to get tickets to in the UK. Wherever you are, it's going to be a weekend to remember. These are some things ...

An exclusive private tour is also on offer (bespoke prices from £79pp), giving you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how the royal family and the 220 crew members lived. The Royal Yacht Britannia was in service between 1954 and 1997. Celebratory dishes and cocktails will be served in the Royal Deck Tea Room and there will be a corgi (not real ones, sadly) treasure hunt. Elsewhere, landmarks including the City Art Gallery and O2 Guildhall building will be lit in red, white and blue, and there will be a QR Jubilee Beacon Trail treasure hunt (free). There’s a Jubilee Picnic In The Park on the Long Walk on Saturday, June 4, with a display of cars from different years of the Queen’s reign, ending with the Big Lunch on Sunday, June 5. These will include the lighting of the Windsor Platinum Jubilee beacon and fireworks on the Long Walk on Thursday, June 2, and a concert at St George’s Chapel on Friday, June 3. Stay: The ME London hotel on the Strand has a ‘Bring A Corgi, Stay Free’ offer until June 2 where you pay for one night and get a second free of charge. Southampton’s celebrations start with The Big Platinum Festival on June 5 in Mayflower Park. Think street-food stalls, cooking demos and a funfair as well as circus performers, DJs and a performance from aptly named tribute band Forever Queen. Mayfair will be holding a street party to celebrate the Jubilee. Running the length of North Audley Street from June 2 to 3, it will feature a banqueting table, food stalls and live music. Stay: The Sir Christopher Wren Hotel is an elegant Georgian building on Thames Street, perched on the riverbank and allowing you to enjoy (the Queen’s) swans majestically passing the window as you enjoy breakfast. Stay: In nearby Ballater, the cosy Deeside Inn has undergone a multimillion-pound transformation and reopens in May as the Balmoral Arms, with rooms from £174pn over the Jubilee weekend. Balmoral Castle is the Queen’s Scottish sanctuary and an exhibition called Life At Balmoral gives a tantalising insight into all aspects of the estate, from fishing in the River Dee and displays of clothing the Queen wears when she’s here (below), to her dog-walking outfits and the toy cars once loved by her children.

We all love a three day weekend and this year, we've got plenty, with the Queen's platinum jubilee ensuring an extra two days off for many.

The Summer Bank Holiday is on Monday, August 29, so if you take Tuesday to Friday as annual leave, you can get nine days off in total. During the Christmas period in 2022, the holidays fall on a Monday and Tuesday meaning you can bag even more days off. For the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday, hard-working Brits can get nine days off work by booking just three days’ worth of holiday.
