ABSOLUTELY’S July issue highlights

Everything feels so much better in the open air. You know how it is when you head off on your summer hols, sipping on a cocktail at a beachside bar, watching the ripple of the waves. Bliss. But you don't need to hop on a boat or plane to experience that same kind of joy in Hertfordshire. We certainly come up trumps when it comes to outdoor entertainment and July looks like a bumper month for sitting back in the late evening sunshine with a smile on your face.

A big thing that should be on everyone's calendar is the return of the St Albans Comedy Garden. Everyone who is anyone in comedy will descend upon the city for some outdoor laughs. While there, make sure you check out our special on the best food and drink spots in St Albans to make the most of the trip.

Then there's the return of outdoor cinema at The Grove, and also The Luna Cinema comes to Knebworth too. I love watching a movie outdoors, although don't repeat my mistake when watching Back to the Future a few years back. It was boiling and we had to be car bound, so we enjoyed one of the best films ever with the air con on full blast. Cue home time and I had bled the battery dry...
