Three-day weekends promise so much and sometimes deliver even more. Rank the bank holiday classics from genuine joy to complete letdown.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A proper garden barbecue
Burnt sausages, warm cider, and someone's uncle claiming he's the grill master. It's chaotic but somehow always memorable.
A day trip to a National Trust property
Wandering grand houses pretending you'd have owned one in another life, before queuing 40 minutes for a scone.
Binge-watching in your pyjamas
No plans, no pressure, just a duvet and six episodes deep by lunchtime. The most honest use of a day off.
A trip to a DIY superstore
Wandering the aisles of a warehouse pondering a new shed you'll never build. Strangely soothing for the whole family.
A festival or street fair
Live music, questionable food vans, and a plastic pint that costs more than your weekly shop. Still worth it.
Drag the photo to reorder
Should the UK introduce a legal cap on how many hours children can spend on homework each week?
