As well as the public holidays we've listed above, Anguilla celebrates Anguilla Day on May 30, Constitution Day on August 6 and Separation Day on December 19.

There's a fun but fairly low-key summer carnival , normally during the first week of August, with boat races, live bands, a Miss Anguilla pageant and a calypso show. Boat races are also held over Easter weekend and during the run-up to the carnival - keep an eye out in the newspapers and free tourist magazines for locations and times.

For ambulance, fire and police dial 911
