July in the UK brings sunshine, school holidays, and some of the most iconic events on the sporting and cultural calendar. From the roar of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone to the refined energy of Centre Court at Wimbledon, thousands will be heading out to enjoy world-class entertainment this summer.
But for large groups, navigating the crowds and logistics can be stressful without the right support. That’s where 7 Plus Travel Ltd comes in. As a trusted group travel company based in Luton, we provide smart, spacious, and reliable transport solutions to ensure your summer plans run smoothly, no matter the destination.
Read on to learn more about where our group travel solutions can take you this summer.
British Grand Prix at Silverstone: Go in Style and Comfort
The Formula 1 British Grand Prix is a highlight of the UK’s summer events calendar, drawing crowds of over 140,000 per day to Silverstone in early July. The race offers more than just the main event, it’s a weekend-long festival of motorsport, fan zones, live music, and a high-octane atmosphere.
Silverstone is not the easiest venue to access via public transport, especially when you’re travelling in a group. 7 Plus Travel offers minibus services and coach options that can take the hassle out of the journey. With convenient pick-up and drop-off across London and the South East, including direct from Luton airport, we get your group there together, comfortably, and on time.
Whether you’re heading down for race day only or camping for the full weekend, our vehicles offer plenty of space for passengers, luggage, and even fold-out chairs or picnic gear. Plus, with professional drivers and air-conditioned vehicles, you can relax while we take care of the traffic.
Wimbledon Championships: Seamless Transfers to the All-England Club
Another July staple, the Wimbledon Championships in South West London is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. With long queues, limited on-site parking, and large crowds, attending Wimbledon can be a logistical headache, especially for groups.
As a group travel company with years of experience, we understand that comfort and timing are everything. 7 Plus Travel offers tailored minibus and coach hire for group trips to Wimbledon, whether you’re attending as corporate guests, school groups, or with friends and family.
We’ll pick you up from your chosen location, ensure your group arrives punctually, and wait nearby for your return journey, eliminating the need to rely on taxis or trains at peak times. For larger parties, our transport solutions are scalable and include executive minibuses with leather seating, air conditioning, and USB ports for added comfort.
Other Events Worth Travelling To This Summer
While Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix are two of the biggest highlights, summer in and around London is packed with other major events where group travel makes a huge difference. From music festivals and garden shows to parades and cultural celebrations, here are some unmissable events where our minibus services and transport solutions help simplify the journey:
BST Hyde Park
BST Hyde Park takes place over several weekends in the summer, with events running from Friday, 27 June to Sunday, 13 July 2025. With big-name acts like Stevie Wonder and Sabrina Carpenter performing in the heart of London, the festival draws huge crowds and results in a number of main road closures.
Our large group transport options provide a relaxed, coordinated journey to and from the park, ideal for music lovers attending as a group.
Notting Hill Carnival
Held over the August bank holiday weekend, from Sunday 24 to Monday, August 25 2025, Notting Hill Carnival is Europe’s largest street festival and a vibrant celebration of Caribbean culture, music, and community. Expect colourful costumes, steel pan bands, calypso, reggae, and mouth-watering street food.
With public transport overcrowded and road closures in place, hiring a minibus or coach ensures your group travels safely and comfortably, arriving together to enjoy the atmosphere without the stress.
Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival
The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2025 show takes place from Tuesday, 1 July to Sunday, 6 July 2025, drawing in gardening enthusiasts from all over the country. This flower show promises impressive garden designs and stunning floral displays, making it the perfect summer outing for gardening clubs or friends looking for inspiration.
Booking transport with our group travel company can make the journey as smooth and comfortable as the event itself.
Wireless Festival
Wireless Festival 2025 is scheduled for Friday, 11 July to Sunday, 13 July in Finsbury Park, bringing together some of the biggest names in hip-hop, grime, R&B, and urban music. Known for its energetic atmosphere and the large, youthful crowd, the festival offers full days of performances across multiple stages.
With late finishes and congested public transport, travelling by minibus is a smart, stress-free option that is perfect for groups wanting to enjoy the weekend safely and return home together in comfort.
BBC Proms
The BBC Proms is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral concerts and musical events, running from Friday, 18 July to Saturday, 13 September 2025 at the Royal Albert Hall in central London. Celebrating classical music in an accessible and uplifting way, it draws audiences from across the UK.
Whether you’re planning a school visit, cultural day out, or music society trip, large group transport by minibus or coach ensures a smooth, convenient, and enjoyable journey for everyone attending.
London Pride
The Pride in London Parade takes place on Saturday, 5 July 2025, uniting over 500 groups, including LGBTQ+ organisations, charities, businesses, and allies, with around 35,000 participants marching through the city in celebration and solidarity. Alongside the main parade, London hosts a variety of Pride-related events, concerts, and community activities to get involved with throughout July.
For groups attending these vibrant celebrations across Central London, our door-to-door minibus services offer a safe, convenient, and inclusive transport solution, removing the hassle of disrupted public transport or coordinating multiple cars.
Why Minibus and Coach Travel Works for Groups
Whether you’re planning a trip for six friends heading to a festival or coordinating a party of sixty for a major sporting event, finding a travel solution that is both convenient and cost-effective can be a real challenge. That’s where professional minibus and coach hire comes in, offering a level of comfort, organisation, and efficiency that DIY travel plans rarely match.
Cost-Effective per Head
When you hire a minibus or coach, the overall cost is spread across all passengers, often making it significantly cheaper than purchasing multiple train tickets or booking several taxis. This is especially true during peak travel times when prices surge. It’s also far easier to plan a clear travel budget when everything is included in one transparent quote.
More Sustainable
Travelling together in one vehicle reduces the number of cars on the road, which lowers traffic congestion and cuts down emissions. For schools, businesses, and community groups looking to meet sustainability goals, opting for shared transport is an environmentally responsible choice.
Stress-Free Coordination
With a private minibus or coach, there’s no need to worry about train delays, finding parking, or keeping track of multiple vehicles. Everyone leaves and arrives together, eliminating the stress of managing individual arrangements, which is especially important when travelling to busy events like Wimbledon or Notting Hill Carnival.
All-in-One Solution
Our vehicles come with ample luggage space, an experienced and professional driver, and a schedule tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a single-day event, a weekend trip, or a full itinerary of drop-offs and pick-ups, we’ve got you covered.
