May Bank Holiday Weekend

It’s not every day we get a three day weekend so when it does happen it’ll be rude not to make the most of it. The weather has certainly improved over the last few weeks and is set to be pretty warm and sunny this coming  May Bank Holiday, so here at ipostparcels.com we’ve scoured the events calendar and found some great things to do over the extended weekend.

London Wonderground:

The summer long pop-up cabaret fun festival is held at London’s Southbank Centre.  There’s something there for everyone from quirky comedy shows for adults, family shows to children’s entertainment.  With fair rides, band stands and food stalls, it’s definitely not one to be missed.

The Eden Project:

A great family day out, with plenty of things to do and see and this May Bank Holiday they’ve got spectacular performances from the International Male Voice Choral Festival. The Eden project in Cornwall is the world's largest rainforest in captivity with steamy jungles, waterfalls and always an array of activities and entertainment on. So grab your family and friends and take in the spectacular views.

Rooftop Film Club:

This is definitely something you can’t do every day in sunny old UK. Why not sit outside on a warm evening and watch one of your favourite movies. This bank holiday weekend programme features Eighties favourites Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Sat May 4), Flight of the Navigator (Sun May 5) and Willow (Mon May 6).

Bank Holiday Parcel Delivery:

Parcel Pete will be off on his travels enjoying his 3 day weekend, so don’t forget if you’re booking your parcel delivery on Friday 3rd May it won’t be collected till Tuesday 7th May.

Parcel Pete.com:

Have a great weekend all and if all else fails why not visit Parcel Pete’s own little world at www.parcelpete.com, where the sky is always blue, the grass always green and the temperature always above 20 degrees!

After the  fantastic Olympics and Paralympic Games and the biggest medal overhaul for the last 100 years, all the British athletes will be taking part in a hero’s parade through London on Monday 10th September 2012.

The athletes, who brought home 150 medals between them, will travel on a series of floats from Mansion House to Trafalgar Square along Queen Victoria Street and Cannon Street, passing by St Paul's Cathedral, continuing along Fleet Street, past Aldwych and into The Strand.

The event will start at 13:30 and finish at around 16:00. Most roads required by the event will be closed from 11:00 with those around Guildhall closing from 06:00 to allow the coach convoy to assemble. Roads will reopen after the event as soon as it is safe to do so.

The event is expected to exceed any previous victory parades in respect of its size and crowd numbers, with over 200,000 spectators expected to attend. 850 Olympic and Paralympic athletes will be involved in the procession.

There will be some temporary road closures to facilitate the parade which in turn may cause disruptions to our delivery service. We assure our customers we will do our upmost to make sure our deliveries run as smoothly as possible during the parade.

For more information of road closures please see – Our Greatest Team Parade Map

Busy Times Ahead...

With 24 Olympic venues across London, we will certainly have a very busy few months which is bound to cause some traffic jams. But you don’t need to worry, here at ipostparcels.com we’ve been getting ourselves prepped and ready for The Games.

Our reliable next day delivery service will keep on going using our UK Mail overnight network. If you’ve chosen for collection/delivery by a certain time then we will make this our priority; however we can’t carry a guarantee during The Games. There are also a few postcodes that will probably see a heavy build-up of traffic, they are as follows:

Lockdown Postcodes:

For the duration of the Games, Official London 2012 Venues (often referred to as “lockdown venues”) will be subject to additional security and all final mile deliveries to these venues will be made by UPS. For additional information on UPS charges & affected addresses please read our guide to Olympic Venues.
