Ten great ideas for August bank holiday

From wild days in Sussex to a Fab Four fest in Merseyside, there’s something for all the family in our pick of upcoming events

Grab one of the remaining tickets for nature and wellbeing festival Into the Wild, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. For three days, the Chiddinglye estate becomes an enchanting playground with world and folk music performed in woodland surroundings (including the bands Folkadelix and Mobius Loop), yoga, dance, theatre and wild crafts. Workshops and talks will focus on our relationship with the natural world, from experts such as rewilder Derek Gow and conservationist Benedict Macdonald. It’s a family favourite, with endless entertainment for kids (run by Lewes Youth Theatre) or the chance to just run wild in a beautiful spot. It’s alcohol-free (but there’s an excellent microbrewery in an adjacent field), and parties continue into the night with silent discos and DJs.
