See in the New Year at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay
People flock to the Scottish capital each year to celebrate New Year’s Eve. With three days of spectacular events, fireworks and lots of live music, Edinburgh‘s Hogmanay is one of the greatest New Year celebrations in the world.
Spend Christmas in Australia
If you’ve only ever enjoyed Christmas whilst it’s been cold outside, firing up a BBQ and chilling on the beach is an experience in itself.

Days spent surfing in the ocean, topping up tans on one of the many beautiful beaches and lots of time in the great outdoors. So if you’re looking to escape the chill of the UK during the winter months, Australia could be the place for you.
