(VOVWORLD) - It’s true to say that the weather in Hanoi was not as hot as the atmosphere of the UK Festival 2023 at the weekend. The locals in Hanoi and visitors were treated with the best experience of Britain right in the capital city.

It’s great news for Harry Potter fans because the legendary Hogwarts Express officially arrived at the UK festival.

The UK is famous worldwide for a healthcare system. A British health exhibition was held at the festival to offer free health advice, lung cancer screening instructions, lung check-up vouchers at major hospitals, and gifts from UK famous brands.

The headline of the event was a music night featuring the renowned British boy band 911 and other artists. The band of the 1990s has become more popular among Vietnamese young people following their collaboration with Vietnamese singer Duc Phuc in “I do”. (Photo courtesy of the producer)
