15 day trips and short breaks to keep the summer vibe alive

With plenty of sunny days and balmy evenings still to come, we pick late summer activities around the UK, from glamping and sailing to festivals and off-grid escapes

PoliNations is a garden party, but not as you know it. This free festival in Birmingham’s Victoria Square on 2-18 September showcases cultural diversity through the lens of horticulture. In the shade of a forest of giant architectural trees, the festival will begin with a mass flower planting, continue with workshops, garden tours, poetry slams and yoga classes, and finish with the Ballistic Seed Party. This four-day finale features music, dance and drag performances.
