What's on When

World festival and events guide

What's on when pretty much does what it says on the tin; it tells you what's on and when it's on. Launched in 1999 the website has grown to cover every conceivable festival in every corner of the world. And it makes for a great read.

What's on when sells itself a way for people to 'plan their leisure time', but you can't help thinking that its real purpose is to provide material to keep daydreamers busy during office hours. Festivals cover the spectrum from the sublime(watching the Northern lights in Alaska) to the ridiculous(bog snorkeling in Wales), and there's such a volume of content that you'll always find something new.

Not only is what's on when's global reach impressive, but so is their grasp of what works on the internet. Articles are well written and kept to a digestible length. Travel writers can get their work in electronic print(following a template) and budding broadcasters can upload videos of events they have covered.

Festivals and events can be searched by date, country and theme; and a partnership with lastminute.com means that travel, accommodation and tickets can be booked online. What's on when is arguably the ultimate armchair travel destination. It's a great place to get lost; providing a wealth of travel ideas. and potential features.
