1. Visit Wimbledon 2013

With the ever increasing popularity of tennis in the UK and the fact that we have the Olympic Champion Andy Murray performing amazingly this tournament promises to be amazing. Murray mound is located inside the grounds and you can watch the games without the need for tickets. Just expect to queue up when the big games are on. Definitely one of the events of 2013.

2. Watch a Premier League Football match.

The English Premier League is probably the most exciting football league in the world and is home to some of the very best players. Whilst premier league tickets are not very easy to find you can normally get to see a game for the lower teams in the league without problem. The biggest games of the season are between Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and now Manchester City. The stadiums we recommend are Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates, all of which hold more than 50,000 fans with Old Trafford having over 77,000 capacity.

3. Go Camping at Glastonbury 2013

With the Olympics taking place in 2012 the organisers of the largest festival in the world, Glastonbury decided to have a year off from the UK music festival scene. With this the demand to go in 2013 has been higher than ever. Artists such as Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Coldplay and Jay-Z have all played on the iconic Pyramid stage in the past couple of years and 2013 promises to be just as big. Camping typically starts on the Tuesday and the music starts on the main stages on the Friday. If you are around this part of the UK in June 2013 then get your camping gear ready and get to the Somerset countryside for this amazing festival.

4. Champions League Final Wembley 2013

The famous Wembley Stadium will be the place to be in North West London in May 2013 with around 90,000 fans cheering on the finalists of the Champions League. With teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, AC Milan all fighting for a place this promises to be another fantastic and dramatic final. The English Football Association is 150 years old this year and therefore has been chosen for the final destination. With over 100 million

5. Watch a 6 Nations Rugby Match

The 6 Nations consist of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and France. All of these nations are passionate about rugby and play to win every game. All games are passionate and completely sold out. The highlight games are always the England vs France games and England v Ireland. With the choice of Twickenham, Murrayfield and the Millenium stadium you have the choice of 3 excellent stadiums to choose from.
