They have the wartime weekends, the music festivals.
Now you wouldn't think a wartime theme would attract youngsters, but it does....one of the favourite singers on the Wartime weekend is only 20 years old.
We don't know what works unless someone is brave enough to try it.

Same all over London.
I used to be heavily involved with the Jermyn Street Festival in St. James, and the Motcomb Street Festival in Belgravia, which were always well attended and succesful.
Things like the Pride festivals, where you're getting crowds of over 100,000 were a little harder to pull off.
