Celebrate end of summer festivals in style

Residents of the UK have been wholly spoiled with this summer’s record-breaking heatwave, which will be remembered for many years to come! Now the days are beginning to draw in, we’re making the most of any remaining sunshine by spending as much time outdoors as humanly possible.

What better way to soak up the rays than at a music festival? There are a handful of opportunities left to dance the day away to the latest pop, dubstep and disco tunes, in between consuming copious amounts of cider and burgers.

Take your pick from the list of events below, then ensure you’re dressed to impress with our edit of fabulous festival-ready attire on the high street.
