Dazed and confused:
How are you spending the bank holiday weekend?

Need some inspiration for what to do over the bank holiday weekend? Confused.com's Owe Carter has a bunch of suggestions, and would like to hear yours.

The last bank holiday of the year is hurtling towards us like a lonely puppy, and you may well not be ready for the eager licking it has in store for you. If you've not already made plans, may I be so bold as to offer a few ideas? I may? Why, thank you! Let's wire in...

Explore the country

Feel like getting out and about? There are absolutely tons of awesomesome spots across the UK well worth seeing. Read our rundown of the best British holidays you've never taken. And for those of you that love spending time in your motor, appreciating the scenery and shamelessly belting out your favourite songs without fear of being ostracised, check out our top ten drives.

Go to a festival

Reading, Leeds and Creamfields have sold out, but there are other festivals dotted about. Solfest in West Cumbria looks really good (if you're going, be sure to catch Alabama 3), and the South West Four Weekender on Clapham Common looks like it'll be a proper booty shaker.

But before you head off, read our indispensable guide to festival survival, and motor tips for your trip.

Be beside the seaside

Fingers crossed, it'll be sunny this bank holiday weekend. So pack some suncream, a good book, your children if you have to, and head on down to the beach. Check out Confused.com's top ten beaches here for inspiration.

I want to see monkeys

Of course you want to see monkeys. That's why you want to get down to Monkey World in Dorset. To find out more, read our top ten unusual days out - which also includes Pollock's Toy Museum, Diggerland and the wonderful Pitt Rivers Museum.

Whatever you get up to this bank holiday, I hope you have an excellent time. If you've got any more suggestions for brill things to do, feel free to let us know by commenting below.
