August is that golden stretch of the year that carries us toward summer’s grand finale – and there’s no shortage of things to get excited about. From can't-miss events to must-listen-to music (and all the new drops), this month is packed. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic with Freakier Friday, dancing it out at All Points East or soaking up the good energy at Brighton Pride, there’s something for everyone. You know what to do – add these to your schedule if you want to end summer with a bang.

WEDNESDAY: 6 AUGUST
Goth girls, rejoice! If you’re a huge fan of the award-winning Netflix show, then you’ll know that it’s back on our screens for season 2. Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returns to Nevermore Academy with plenty more bone-chilling adventures to sink your teeth into. Expect icons like Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper and Joanna Lumley to show their faces, too.
FREAKIER FRIDAY: 8 AUGUST
If the original 2003 Freaky Friday changed your brain chemistry, then the Freakier Friday sequel will be everything you want and more (yes, the world is healing). Two decades on, Anna (Lindsay Lohan) and Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) are older and wiser – Anna has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate merging two families, it seems like the past might repeat itself for Tess and Anna.
THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB: 28 AUGUST
The screen adaptation of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club book series is finally here. It follows a group of retirees who love a bit of casual sleuthing – and happen to get the opportunity to solve a real-life mystery. Expect a silver-haired, star-studded lineup including Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and so many more.
