If you know anything about Prince Harry, you know that he never shies away from a good time… and he is definitely no stranger to a festival. Well, it’s a good thing he lives in Britain! From London to Edinburgh and everywhere in between, Britain’s festivals are world-renowned. In keeping with “The Month of Harry,” this edition of Visiting Royal Britain is dedicated to some of the land’s best festivals – those Harry has been spotted at and even one or two he should seriously consider attending. Fedoras optional.

Obviously Harry has attended Britain’s largest and best known music festival, which is held in Somerset each June. Aside from featuring some of the biggest pop and rock names from around the globe, the Glastonbury area itself has a lot to offer for festival-goers. Next year’s is scheduled for June 24 – 25, so get your tickets now, and maybe Harry will whisk you away to the top of Glastonbury Tor to take in breath-taking views of the Somerset Levels, Dorset, Wiltshire and even Wales.
How better to recover from a breakup than to drown your sorrows in a pint… or several? Harry surprised attendees as this August’s Great British Beer Festival in West London. Maybe next year he’ll ditch the baseball cap in favor of participating in the World Famous Hat Day. Tasting over 1,000 beers (not all at once) while wearing funny hats? How very British.
The fun-loving royal made headlines this summer when he was spotted at the Secret Garden Party Festival, despite his extremely clever disguise of a straw fedora. He was also seen on the swings – GUYS, I love the swings. We’re totes meant to be, right? Tickets are already on sale for the annual independent arts and music festival, so get to it and make your way to Abbots Ripton near Huntingdon (it’s quite pretty) and reserve your seat on the swings!
I am holding out for the day we see Prince Harry venture up to Edinburgh for Hogmanay during New Year’s (carrying a torch, Viking hat on head) or over to Wales for Hay-on-Wye, which Bill Clinton once called “the Woodstock of the minds.”
What festival do you think we’ll see Harry pop up at next?
