2009 August Bank Holiday Breaks at home and abroad

Self catering August bank holiday weekends - top family fun

August bank holiday breaks are the perfect opportunity to grab a last bit of sun before winter sets in. With almost a third of the year to wait before the next bank holiday Monday, a short bank holiday break in August is ideal for a sun soaked weekend of family fun. Around the world are a vast range of destinations offering virtually guaranteed sunshine and more things to do than you could possibly try; the only hardship is selecting just one!

The August bank holiday weekend is the most popular time of the year for people to take a holiday, which means prices, especially in the package holiday industry, can soar. The popularity of August bank holiday breaks means that there is always plenty to do in the August bank holiday, but if you would prefer to bask in the sun in solitude, there are plenty of destinations to spend a gloriously peaceful self catering August bank holiday. Booking your August bank holiday break early allows you to find some excellent bargains, and if you have left it a little late, there are some wonderful August bank holiday breaks to be had here in the UK, right on your doorstep.
