By Anna Phillips

You don’t always have to fork out a small fortune travelling overseas to explore new places and attend cool events. Maybe this is the summer to look closer to home, and this year the UK is hosting a load of exciting stuff across the country. Here is a run through of some of the top events around Britain in 2015.

1. Edinburgh Fringe Festival

From 7^th-31^st August this summer, Edinburgh will become home to the biggest arts festival in the world. With loads of free comedy, theatre and music shows, a lack of spare funds should be no obstacle to attending one of the UK’s favourite events. There are even opportunities for paid work or volunteering positions at the Fringe.

2. Camden Beach

Camden’s Roadhouse will once again this summer be filled with 150 tonnes of sand, rooftop gardens, deckchairs, and an array of new bars and restaurants. From mid-July until the end of August you won’t need to travel farther than London to feel like you’re soaking up some coastal goodness.
