The Holiday Highlights for 2012.

Jan. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- In terms of events, 2012 is the biggest year the United Kingdom has seen in a long while, and Pure Holiday Homes is geared up for the celebrations. With the Olympics in July and August, the country is set to swell with pride and show off all it has to offer. The other momentous event of the year will be the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, where sixty years on the throne will be marked with celebrations all over the country.

Pure Holiday Homes has a wide range of properties, whatever your plans may be during the big events this year. CEO of Pure Holiday Homes, Sean Collins, has commented that ‘we have a big year ahead of us in the UK; our wide choice of property and understanding of the current trend towards the ‘stay-cation’ means we are more than well equipped to handle the demand from holidaymakers hoping to make the most of the revelries in 2012’.  There is plenty of accommodation both in and around London, or if you are planning to use either of these celebrations as a holiday period abroad you will be spoilt for choice there as well.

The first event to take place will be the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. This event is the second ever in the United Kingdom; the last being Queen Victoria’s in 1897. As such, it is anticipated to be one of the biggest events in the 2012 calendar, taking place from Saturday 2nd to Tuesday 5th June. Although London will be the epicentre of the festivities, commonwealth countries across the globe will join in with the celebrations. If you want to see how another country celebrates, Pure Holiday Homes has a large variety of properties, such as a modern villa in Cyprus (property ref. 38395) for just £350 per week between April and August, or a sea-view apartment in Barbados (property ref. 27824) at only £450 per week between April and September. In fact, Pure Holiday Homes has a variety of destinations all over the world, if you plan to celebrate away from it all.

And for the event that the world has been waiting for; between the 17th July and the 12th August, the Olympics will take place in London and surrounding areas. The locations of main events include Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, The Wimbledon All England Club, and the Weymouth and Portland national sailing academy. Pure Holiday Homes has properties in all of these areas and more, ensuring that you are at the centre of things. For example, you could stay in an apartment in the heart of Wimbledon (property ref. 17988) for just £30 per night in July and August, or at this rural cottage in Weymouth (property ref. 32877) for £650 per night in July.

Pure Holiday Homes has over 26,500 properties listed in more than 85 countries around the world. Along with a user friendly website, and the facility to book directly from the owner, Pure Holiday Homes makes finding holiday rentals during the biggest events of the year that little bit easier.
