With lockdown measures still in place, we won’t be celebrating this bank holiday the way we’d have thought, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of the weekend from the safety of your own home! We’ve rounded up a list of things you can do to pass the time in style.
Use what you can to go all out and recreate the cinema experience at home. Agree on a set time, issue tickets, dim the lights and get your microwave popcorn ready to settle in for an evening of movie-magic at home. If you want to share the experience with people isolating separately, you can use a google extension like Netflix party to watch in time with each other!
No bank holiday is complete without a fancy drink, and staying home doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun. Round up some easy at home cocktail recipes, get the ingredients ready in advance (or improvise with what you have at home!) to whip yourself up a bank holiday treat.
Whether you’re doing it virtually or with your quaran-team at home, a games night is a great way to pass the time this bank holiday. Why not have a game of boozy bingo? Everyone mocks up their own bingo cards, then use a random number generator like this.
The National Theatre have been live streaming various shows so you can enjoy them at home for free, and they’re available for 7 days!
Whether you’re missing your favourite tapas or just fancy something different, going all out for a themed food night will give you something to look forward to all day. Add what you need to your weekly shop in advance, recreate the restaurant with music from your chosen country and drinks to match the cuisine.
