The year to celebrate England

Packed with unmissable events and unique spectacles, we’ve got heaps of holiday ideas to help you make the most of this very special year.

Wave to The Queen at the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant , indulge your love of literature at the World Shakespeare Festival and Dickens 2012 , and see Lake Windermere like never before courtesy of Les Commandos Percuat .

As if that wasn’t enough, follow the Olympic Torch to some of England’s finest landmarks, cheer on the world’s best athletes in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and soak up some culture in the London 2012 Festival.
