Autumn Decorations
Now that autumn has arrived, it’s a great opportunity to decorate your home with seasonal crafts and embellishments.
Why not head out with your loved ones for a seasonal stroll in the woods, gathering a selection of autumnal leaves and berries to use for crafting as you go?
You could use your foliage to create a beautiful autumn wreath for your front door or an orange-hued centrepiece for your autumn table.
Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard
For a fun family activity to mark the first day of autumn, why not visit your local pumpkin patch or apple orchard?
A brilliant bonding experience, you and your family can spend hours picking out your seasonal fruit and vegetables; you can then spend an afternoon making pumpkin soup and apple pie to enjoy together for a warming autumnal dinner.
Local Harvest Festivals
If you’re searching for things to do in autumn, why not look for local events happening in your area? Many communities come together to enjoy different activities in autumn, such as celebrating the harvest festival.
Hosted in venues across the country, finding your local harvest festival is a great way to share the seasonal spirit, whilst meeting a host of new people.
Adding Heartier Dishes to Your Menu
With the weather changing, it’s a perfect excuse to swap out your regular meal ideas for something heartier and warmer.
Embrace the autumn by introducing a wealth of seasonal flavours to your meals. For example, why not give this slow-cooked pork, cider and sage hotpot a try? You could invite some friends over for an intimate dinner party to celebrate the turn of the season.
Celebrate the First Day of Autumn With a Local Bonfire Display
Crisp cool air and beautiful autumn scenery provide the ideal setting for a bonfire.
One of our favourite things to do, why not look for your closest local bonfire display to take part in your community while enjoying the turn of the season?
It’s a wonderful activity that will bring your community together to make treasured happy memories.
