Embracing the British Summer: A Bucket List

As summer approaches, we've put together a bucket list of ideas for fun things to do in and around Plymouth to help you make the most of your break diving back into your studies in September.


  • Explore Plymouth's street art scene. Take a stroll through the city and check out the countless murals along the way. Take a sketchbook with you and see what ideas spring to mind as you're walking.


  • Have a Picnic at Mount Edgcumbe : Pack a basket full full of scotch eggs and sausage rolls and head over to Mount Edgcumbe. Dip your toes in the sea or grab a pint at the pub and make sure to take a walk around the stunning grounds.


  • Beach Bonfire : Gather your pals and head down to a beach to roast marshmallows, share stories, and let the sand between your toes. Bonus points if you have a sandcastle building competition.


  • Music Festival : Go to a music festival with your friends! You could camp over or just find an evening event. Check out your favourite band or discover a new artist. Chuck on a bucket hat and a bum bag and you're ready to go. Remember to stay hydrated, drink responsibly and stay safe!


  • Wild Camping Weekend : Escape the confines of the city and embark on a wild camping adventure. Pitch a tent under the stars, cook meals over a fire, and reconnect with nature.


  • Outdoor Cinema Experience : Experience the magic of open-air cinema screenings in stunning locations around Plymouth. Grab some snacks and a blanket and enjoy a chill evening outside. Sometimes there are even viewings in the Lido which is extra cool.


  • Sunrise Hike : Set your alarm and wake up early for a morning walk to watch the sunrise. Take a journal or novel with you and enjoy the birdsong before the rest of the world wakes up.


  • Go canoeing or paddle boarding : Hire a paddleboard or canoe and head out on an adventure. Keep your eye out for marine life, and feel a sense of freedom as you navigate the open sea.
