Jameson’s Guide on How to Embrace Spontaneity with These Summer Activities
When it comes to seasons, summer is the best. There’s no question. Nothing beats the warm lengthy days, the chilled out vibes, and the buzz in the air. Inviting one and all to sit back, sip back and have a good time.
Yet, summer is sort of funny. While it can encourage a lot of get up and go, time flies fast. And before you know it, it’s back to the blistery cold winters. So, sometimes we might need a little nudge to make the most of those special days. Embracing ‘summer plans’ with the best of intentions and a sprinkle of impulsiveness too.
Fun Things To Do In Summer
So, we say it’s high time to tick some things off your bucket list. Live in the moment a little. And the be the main character. Saying yes to spantaneIty. And a big fat no to those supporting roles of worry and regret. How you ask?
As usual, Jameson has you covered with our ‘Say Yes to Summer’ check list. So, when you’re in the mood to have a great Summer’s day. Launch our list into your reality with our lengthy collection of things to do in summer, made all the better with a glass of Jameson of course. So dust off your bucket list, find your favourite summer outfit, and let’s ignite some super summer plans.
Music, Music, Music. It’s festy season.
What’s first on the agenda? Festivals and concerts, of course. So, if you have the opp, seize it. Immersing yourself in the present, and surrounding yourself with some banging tunes, great company and some extra hot rays too.
Nothing beats last-minute plans for festivals, as you’re forced to come as you are. Packing some shorts, sunscreen, Jameson and a good attitude of course. Opening the door, or tent, to meeting new mates. And conversations around shared interests, musical taste and so much more.
So, you’re lucky enough to be attending a festival this summer. Check out our Ultimate Festival Survival Guide to make the most out of your experience.

Grill, don’t spill at our Summer BBQ

So why not strike up a conversation and tap into their expertise, you’ll be sure to arrive like a local.
Third Spaces for the win
What is a third space you ask? At Jameson, they are the places where we can make connections with our partners and communities. A place where we can Widen The Circle, learn more our interests and passions and lean into each other’s expertise. This could be a local park, bar, barbers, a skate shop, a vinyl shop or a craftsperson’s worktop.
If you’re feeling bored with your usual go-to places, we suggest trying to see them through a new lens. By approaching these familiar spots with a fresh perspective and trying out different menu options, you may be surprised at how much you can rediscover and appreciate about them. So shake things up and add some excitement to your routine – you never know what new experiences await!
If you’re curious to find your local third space, we’ve made it easy for you in our guide to Find Your Local Third Place: Where Community & Culture Meet.
