If you have a love for camping and the great outdoors as well as a fondness for the swinging sixties then the Pickering 60s Festival will be right up your street.

This annual event which takes place in Pickering, a small town in North Yorkshire is free to attend and is held across two days in June.

The main attraction is of course the live music spanning the sixties era, with a number of local bands taking to the stage alongside headline acts.

It all is due to commence on Friday the 10th of June so there is still time to get yourself organised to make a long weekend of it in the north of the country.

In addition to the musical entertainment there are plenty of other activities planned for the weekend, including fancy dress, a parade featuring classic vehicles from the period, memorabilia stalls plus rides for children.

This is a family event so you can all hop into a mobile home and book a campsite in the area where you can stay for the two nights or more if you so wish. Caravan rental is incredibly affordable these days so you can ensure you have a comfortable place to stay while you enjoy the sixties fun at the festival.

If you enjoy travelling the United Kingdom in a caravan to find the finest seaside resorts or picturesque locations that are home to the best holiday parks, then this article is certainly for you.

To locate the places that offer you with the best facilities and entertainment, whilst being perfectly situated in terms of what there is to do outside of the camping site then you need to do a bit of online research.

Through searching the internet you will come across many websites which review the hundreds of caravan spots throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so it can be difficult to pin it down to somewhere which may be suitable for you to travel to on your holidays.

Should you type into your computer the most related terms like ‘award winning holiday parks’ then you will be faced with all kinds of independent reviews on holiday parks which have been voted as the very best.

You can then whittle them down to possibilities where you would like to go and stay before honing in on the one that best meets all your needs. Once you have done this then all that is left is to consider the caravan hire and start to plan what you’ll do on your holiday in one of the highest rated parks around.

The coastal town of St Ives in Cornwall has won many awards over the years for what it offers to holiday makers, not least being voted the ‘seaside town of the year’ by the Guardian newspaper back in 2007.

The seaside resort has been recommended by travel experts such as Bill Bryson, who was on the judging panel for the publication, which took a look at 12 holiday destinations in Britain and Ireland and picked this out as the best.

So if you are looking for a place to go for a week’s holiday this Easter or even as your main summer holiday, then St Ives is an excellent choice.

St Ives has two Blue Flag beaches, so you can choose to sit on sand and swim in sea which meets the very high standards which have been set out in order to attain this status.

There are also great views from the top of cliffs, amazing walks and surfers arrive in their droves to sample the waves at Potthmeor Beach.

For those looking to do some sightseeing there are museums and galleries to take a look at, plus the town is known for its many culinary delights.

Wherever you are based in the country, you should consider a holiday to this award-winning resort in the south west of England. With motorhome hire, you have an affordable way of getting there and have somewhere to stay in comfort too.

Royal Ascot is certainly more than just a horse racing meeting held across five days in June. It is also a major highlight on the social calendar too, and has been celebrated in this way since 1711.

The racecourse venue of Ascot will be alive with fervour and excitement between Tuesday the 14th and Saturday the 18th of June this year.

Royal Ascot has such a rich heritage and this famous occasion dates back hundreds of years. It is such a beautiful setting for horseracing and there is the prestigious Ascot Gold Cup to look forward to.

Tickets for this fashionable racing event, where stylish attire is expected here, always seem to go fast so it is advisable to book them well in advance.

If you have some time off in June and are a horse racing enthusiast, then this could make for the ideal week away to this historic Berkshire town.

One of the most convenient methods of getting to Ascot and having accommodation ready for you as soon as you get there is through motorhome rental. This means that you could stay close to where the action will be taking place and it won’t cost you a small fortune in hotel bills, so you can enjoy the delights of Royal Ascot to the full.

With American rockers the Foo Fighters all set to finally knock Adele off the top of the album charts this weekend, and with Elbow also doing well, it just goes to show that indie, rock ‘n’ roll and metal are still firmly embedded in the nation’s consciousness.

This is why it is no surprise that the Foo Fighters’ upcoming gigs at the Milton Keynes Bowl in June were sold out within minutes of going on sale.

If you are travelling to this show down south or any other rock event this summer, and you live in the north, then you may be thinking about where you’ll be able to stay for the weekend. While hotels offer you a level of comfort, they can be expensive and those nearest to the music venue will already be booked up.

This is why motorhome or campervan rental makes really good sense. You can travel from wherever in the UK you are based, and get to a conveniently located campsite in style. But that is not all, as modern mobile homes provide all of the modern amenities and equipment you would ever need for your trip.

So if you are going to see your favourite rock band play later this year, then be sure to consider hiring a motorhome as one of your best options.

The great thing about hiring a campervan is that you can just pack up your stuff, hop in and then go wherever you feel like it, with your transport and accommodation sorted for the duration of your trip. However, the obvious plus points of campervan rental also throws up the question of where exactly to go when the world is your oyster?

In order to whittle down the possibilities, you have a trusted friend to hand nowadays, and that is the internet. Since computers and the World Wide Web became so much more accessible, you can not only organise your campsite bookings through this medium, but can also plan your journey with it too.

There are now many travel sites and guides which can help you choose where to go in the UK while you have the campervan on hire. You can scour search sites like Google to give you more ideas, and if you start your research early enough, you can arrange your route and the entire holiday.

While this may not appeal to some who like to just hit the road and see where it takes them, for those who like to be a little more organised, this can prove to be extremely beneficial.

Horse racing enthusiasts will always tell you that you can’t beat actually being present at the meeting to truly experience the excitement of the competition unfolding in front of you. Whether you have money waged on a horse or not, there is something quite unique about watching a race live.

There are many fixtures held throughout the year, with major events spread out across the calendar. With the Grand National taking place at Aintree from today, and with the good weather expected this weekend, it looks like the big event on the Saturday is going to be a top occasion. If you happen to be travelling to the north west for these three days then you are certainly in for a treat.

However, there is certainly more to come this year when it comes to enthralling horse racing. Royal Ascot is just around the corner, in June, and there is the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock Park in September to look forward to.

The best way to get around the country and witness some of the best races around is to consider motorhome hire and stay close to where the action will be taking place. This flexible form of transport and accommodation will ensure you won’t miss out on the buzz of horse racing.
