Here’s how we’ll be spending the rest of summer…

August is officially here and we’re planning to fit in as much fun as possible before the summer comes to a close – which is why we’ve teamed up with Amex Gold® to find the best things to do across the UK for the rest of the season.

That includes some very special events from their jam-packed summer programme, with exclusive rewards and experiences for Cardmembers. By using your Amex® Gold Card for everyday purchases, you bank a point for every pound you spend. In the Amex® app, you can put points towards purchases including gig tickets, subscriptions, hotels, you name it. Alternatively, you can visit the website to convert your points into flights and upgrades, or even select a gift from the hundreds of retailers listed in the Rewards Catalogue.

Read on for some inspo to solidify this as the Gold Standard of summers…

Leeds International Beer Festival

September 3–6

This four day festival takes place at Leeds’ Kirkstall Abbey, and is a true celebration of beer brewed in the UK and beyond. Plus there’s a street food market and loads of live music to boot. Sample the best in beers, find your new favourites, and take home some brilliant booze – easy really.

The Story at the National Theatre

August 27–October 24

If you’re more air-conned theatre than sweaty festival crowd, we’ve got you sorted. Head to the National Theatre to catch The Story, Tracey Scott Wilson’s seminal newsroom thriller that follows four journalists as they race to get the scoop on the murder of a white teacher in a black neighbourhood. The star-studded cast includes Black Panther’s Letitia Wright and Orange is the New Black’s Lorraine Toussaint. And even better, Amex® Cardmembers can get their hands on Amex Reserved Tickets® for the run – meaning they unlock access to a specially set aside allotment of tickets. Oh, and naturally they can earn American Express Membership Rewards® points if they buy with their Amex® Gold Card, too.
