Plan ahead

Big dates worth booking early

Dates the organiser has announced are shown plainly. Expected dates are worked out from past years and set by the calendar ones from the calendar (Mardi Gras is 47 days before Easter); provisional ones come from a source other than the organiser. Date not announced means the organiser hasn't said yet; date not listed yet means we haven't found it. Check the official site before you book. Listed by date, never paid for.
