    Visit the Glorious Gower Festival

    What: Gower Festival
    Where: Gower Peninsular, Wales
    When: 18th to 31st July

    The Gower, that finger of land gesticulating just beyond Swansea, is one of Wales' most magical corners, a wild combination of beaches, sea cliffs and rolling meadowlands. It feels more like an island than part of the mainland, and retains its sense of remoteness despite the summer crowds. There is only one thing lovelier than being on the Gower in July, and that is to be here in July during the Gower Festival, when there are beautiful classical recitals taking place in its village churches: you can listen to a Bach choir, string quartet or piano trio before heading out to sip chilled white wine on the beach.

104 Weekend Days + 20 Holidays + 8 Bank Holidays
= 132 Days Off...

Imagine having a full-time job that gave you nearly 19 weeks of holidays a year. Newsflash - if you work in the UK, you do.

Every year you get 52 weekends, 20 statutory leave days and eight bank holidays - that's 132 days there for the taking.

You could kick back and relax, take up a hobby, have an adventure, or all of the above.

The possibilities are endless. So don't think that every year is just 365 days of the working grind - we're here to inspire you to make the most out of every last second of that fabulous free time.
