With two Bank Holidays on offer, May is always a happy and exciting month for most people.

Hopefully, the weather will be warm and people will be in a great mood. This is the ideal time of year to get out and about, so make sure you line up a fantastic range of events and activities.

If you are not sure of what to do in May, we can help. There are so many events and activities on offer in the English capital, it can be overwhelming picking an event to focus on. Therefore, here are our top 5 things to do in May in London.

Take in the Chelsea Flower Show

This is a glorious English institution and people come from near and far to enjoy this event. If you love seeing innovative flower displays and vivid colours, this is going to be an event that pleases you. Even if the main events are sold out in advance, which they often are, there will be plenty of great attractions to enjoy in and around Chelsea during the course of the month.

See an open-air theatre show

This is the time of year when parks come alive, and there are many organised events which will help you spend some quality time outside of your home. You should consider the range of shows taking place in the open-air theatre summer season. Two of the leading venues to consider is the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park and Shakespeare’s Globe.

Get ready for the FA Cup Final

Even though some people believe the FA Cup final has diminished in importance in recent years, it is still a hugely important event in the sporting calendar. The final will be held at Wembley on the 18th of May 2019. As of yet, we don’t know the two teams who will contest the final but there have been many shocks along the way this season, so it could be an intriguing match-up.

Even if you aren’t heading along to the match in person, make a day of it in London and soak up the atmosphere before watching the game in a bar.

Play some crazy golf

If you prefer your sporting activities to be more active, you need to play a game. You will find that the range of Plonk crazy golf courses will ensure you have a brilliant day out. There are many venues all across London and the best thing about Plonk crazy golf is that it is suitable for all ages.

Whether you are looking for an event that is suitable for the kids or you want an evening out with friends, check out plonkgolf.co.uk and find your nearest course.

Raise a glass for Mr Punch

It is the 356th birthday of Mr Punch and the Covent Garden May Fayre and Puppet Festival will see the rascal take centre stage. This is a fantastic event for those that like traditional fun and who love activities where they can participate.

When it comes to having fun in London in May, there is no shortage of brilliant events.
