June is nearly here, and here are some ideas to shine online in the approaching midsummer, which is the 21st June and the longest day. We’ve also got Father’s Day, get the novelty mugs and pint glasses at the ready 🍻
It’s LGBTQ+ Awareness and Pride Month. It starts on Saturday, June 1, to mark a time of celebrating LGBTQ+ identity and raising awareness of issues facing the community around the world. June is Pride Month because it coincides with the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots. London has the biggest celebration but there’s lots of events across the country to celebrate.
Don’t be red faced, British Tomato Fortnight will be 01/06/2026 to 14/06/2026. Bloody Marys, a juicy sauce for pasta, or simply raw, it’s a great time to celebrate this marvelously nutritious food. Starting 01/06/2026, Volunteers’ Week is a chance to recognise the contribution volunteers make.
06/06/2026 will be the anniversary of the Normandy Landings and 14/06/2026 is World Blood Donor Day. June also hosts Pixie Day on 21/06/2026, on the anniversary of the installation of the bells of the Church of St Mary in Ottery St Mary, England. In Dublin, Ireland, and possibly bookshops across the UK, 11/06/2026 will be Bloomsday in commemoration of James Joyce.
Yoga studios and yogis in general, 21/06/2026 will be International Yoga Day. It is not a stretch to offer up some content. Maybe share beginner and intermediate routines as a Story/Reel. Jenn’s classes at Profit28.
If yoga doesn’t relax you, maybe Take Your Dog To Work Day on 26/06/2026. It might not be relaxing but it could be fun. Here’s the wonderful Ceri and Beau of Carbon Art on an adventure to choose Ceri’s next drawing.
Breweries and public houses 15/06/2026 is your day. National Beer Day will be the day you can show off your craft. 16/06/2026 is Sussex Day, tourism-related businesses, hospitality, and generally all those who are based or service the wonderful county. I’ve heard there’s a book somewhere about the county’s Duke and Duchess, not that it has had much press?!
