25 Things To Do With Friends This Summer

Looking for things to do with your friends this summer? Check out our handy list!

1. Go to the cinema

With Spider-Man, War of the Planet of the Apes, Dunkirk and Girls Trip all coming to the cinema this July, there’s no excuse not to spend time with your friends eating popcorn.

2. Go shopping

 It’s official – retail therapy is good for you. Now you can spend money without feeling guilty.

3. Go for a walk

Who said everything had to involve money? Head to the park or the beach and relax.

4. Go to a theme park

Find a cheap B&B in Blackpool and spend a day in its famous Pleasure Beach, where you can spend time watching the new £16 million rollercoaster Icon being built in front of your eyes.

5. Have a pamper night

Buy some face masks, stick on a movie and relax with your favourite girls. What’s better!?

6. Go on holiday

Summer is all about having fun in the sun. Whether you stay in the UK or jet away somewhere warmer, treat yourself to a vacation this summer.

7. Have a clear-out

Give your bedroom a summer makeover, and get your friends to help out.

8. Start a book club

There are loads of great book releases coming this summer – buy one each and start a book club where you can share, review and slate the latest page-turners.

9. Photo shoot

Get your iPhone ready and enjoy a summer photo shoot together by the beach.

10. Bake 

Catch an episode of Bake Off and be inspired by the sweet treats this summer.

11. Exercise

Plan an exercise session outdoors or sign up for a summer gym membership to get in shape.

12. Play a game

Monopoly, Twister and Cluedo are classics; Cards of Humanity is a modern alternative.

13. Start a blog

Blogging with your friends can be great fun, and you can use a service such as WordPress.com or Blogger to host your posts for free.

14. Get a pet

This one’s indulgent, but if one of your friends is planning on getting a new pet, then ask them if you can be involved in the picking, naming and walking process. Why not!?

15. Go for a meal

Food is fun. Book a table at your favourite restaurant and share some food this summer.

16. Attend a festival

Summer plays hosts to thousands of music festivals. Attend one and let your hair down.

17. Have a picnic

Another food-related idea – prepare a picnic at home that you can enjoy together outdoors.

18. Volunteer

Volunteering is an excellent way to give back to the community and spend time with friends.

19. Go cycling

If it’s a warm and sunny day, then don your helmets and spend a day in the countryside.

20. Try something new 

From horse-riding to paintballing, try a new activity this summer and see what you think.

21. Outdoor swimming

Don’t stick to the swimming pool – try outdoor swimming if it’s safe and warm enough.

22. Make new friends

Attend events where you can meet new people – with your old friends in tow, of course!

23. Revise

If you’re heading back to school or college this autumn, spend time revising together.

24. Get a summer job

If you’re running low on funds, get a summer job with your friends to kill time and give you more money to play with.

25. Get creative 

From making trinkets to redesigning your bedroom, create something you’re proud of.
