Once again, we’re forced to say a wet (tears and rain) goodbye to August before it even feels like it’s started. To give the month a proper send-off, we asked the ultimate night-out seekers aka DesignMyNight.com for the best Bank Holiday events in London and Manchester this weekend.
Read, plan, then party.
London
![Turnt[5]](http://www.inspiringinterns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Turnt5.jpg)
How does £10 for seven hours of partying sound? Good? We thought so. Bank Holiday Sunday Turnt will see eight DJ’s grace Proud’s stage in Camden and mix a combination of hip-hop and house to keep the crowd going to the early hours.
If you’re seeking something a little different this weekend Silent Disco Vs Retro Gaming Masquerade Penthouse Party 500ft Up is sure to rock your socks off. Early bird tickets have already sold out (standard), but that still leaves standard tickets at £14 and six tickets for the price of five if you bulk buy. Happy hour is from 8pm – 10pm. Result.

If it’s all about the music for you on a night out, take a stroll (or the overground) to Shoreditch. Blues Kitchen are hosting Bank Holiday Party – New Orleans Brass Band Festival. Live music will be played by some of the UK’s best brass bands and entry is free before 9.30pm.
Skip the club scene and go for something a little more chilled, with Indiana Jones Last Crusade Manor House Gardens Pop Up Screen. It promises to be a top notch evening of entertainment under the stars and you can bring your own picnic! (We’ve checked the forecast, and the August washout might just be on pause in time for the weekend, but we won’t jinx it).
Manchester
![Drunk at Vogue[11]](http://www.inspiringinterns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Drunk-at-Vogue11-300x169.jpg)
Drunk at Vogue will add sparkle to your August Bank Holiday as you set sail down the River Irwell for a Mardi Gras themed extravaganza. All-day tickets start at £14, with an evening ticket coming in at £6. Take our advice and go the whole hog with an all-day ticket; you won’t regret it.
One of Manchester’s favourite late night venues are bringing a Bank Holiday Sunday Special with Lee Majors to life this weekend. He’s brought some of the brightest performers from the world of hip-hop and now he’s turning his attention to his own music. If this free entry event doesn’t take your fancy and you’re craving a full-on clubbing experience, hit up Not So Secret Warehouse. Early bird tickets are a reasonable £8.
Bangkok Bar are designating the coming weekend for Queer We Are Festival. The night will celebrate the scene in Manchester with art sessions, musical performances and crazy club nights. There’s definitely something for everyone.
