Last week, we found an old receipt for a jambon-beurre purchased at 6am in Pret. Weird. And yesterday, these coins worth hundreds of something in an old linen shirt. Huh? Then, like Jason Bourne trying to remember a week in Tuscany, or the guy from Memento tracing back the steps of a long weekend in Whitstable, we remembered. Holidays. Holl-ee-days. Or, holibobs (for any of our Tatler-adjacent audience).

Anyway, we know that everyone could murder a holiday. We also know that the government might treat you like you’ve committed manslaughter against a calzone if you do go on one. That means we need to make the most of what we’ve got. And you know what? With the right mood and meal, that can actually be pretty good. So choose where you want to transport yourself to from our guides, book some time off, and turn your home into a holiday.

Do you have a specific holiday staycation destination request? Let us know.
