With the summer period filling up with events it might be time to expand and think of Spring as the new summer. 



Yes, traditionally the weather has not been so good in April/May as it normally is in the summer months, but we are in the UK after all, so there is never any guarantee that the weather is going to be good at any point. 

It's always a good time for food so why not host a foodies event in spring, focusing on seasonal produce maybe. Just like Foodies festival who kick off their season with their first event in Brighton in April, or Pub in the Park who start their season in Wimbledon in the middle of May and the Great British Food Festival who are in Trentham Gardens, Staffordshire, at the end of April before moving onto Barton Constable, Hull, in May.

Or you could host a music afternoon locally to get people out and about, enjoying the fresh air. Just ilke the Fake Festival in Bedford which takes place at the end of May. Or if you’re thinking a bit smaller, why not host smaller band concert in the local park, like Northampton Town Council who host the Bands in the Park at the Abingdon Park Bandstand from the 16^th April until the 24^th September. Be it a brass band concert, an acoustic singer or a full band there’s a way to bring a little bit of joy to the community through these special events. 

With all these fresh ideas, there’s no reason to not expand your event season and make spring the new summer.
