I want to have fun in the UK!

November is essay month at in my uni. All my friends are in the library and struggling to write for their essays.
Actually, I came here to have fun, not to be an expert about history!
I have got two history essays. Most of days I stay in my room to finish them it..
Can anybody recommend me ways to have fun in here? I want to go out and travel around UK. 
Even though I've been here for 2 months, and sheffield and liverpool are is the only all places I have been to. I don't want to spend whole year working on for this essay.
Please help me! what is a good solution?

If you have extra time after the semester ends why don't you travel then?  When my friends visited Europe, they worked very hard during the weekdays so they could travel during the weekends.  You should also try to travel to other places in Europe.  I heard Barcelona is an amazing, fun, and beautiful city :)
