Discover 4 Must-Try Experiences to Embrace the Autumn Season

10 September 2024

With a noticeable crisp in the air and darker evenings and mornings, it can only mean one thing. Whether you crave the return of the cooler months or are mourning the loss of languishing in the summer sun, the start of a new season is a good time to try a new activity, take up a new hobby or even treat yourself to a good pampering.

Whether you want to spend some more time indoors or embrace the unpredictable weather, we’ve hand picked some of our best experiences to try this Autumn!

Get cosy with cookery classes

Taking the time to prepare a hearty meal to hunker down with in the darker evenings is just one of the ways to help feel cosy during the Autumn nights. But if you can’t get out of the summer BBQ or salad mindset, and need some cooking inspiration, why not try a Two Hour Cookery Class in London hosted by a former MasterChef contestant, Ann Hood?

Here, you will receive 2 hours worth of teaching on a range of cuisines and dishes. Master sausage making, warming curries or even mouth watering Mexican feast food that will inevitably keep you going during the colder evenings. Cookery Lessons are a great way to feel re-inspired, learn a new skill and whittle away the longer evenings, what’s more, you get a delicious meal to enjoy at the end of it!

Re-visit the nostalgia of Harry Potter

Nothing screams the change in the seasons like re-visiting the magic of the Harry Potter franchise. Whether you’re desperate to re-kindle your love of this magical world by re-reading the classic books, watching the films, or even taking a visit to the Magical Warner Bros Studio Tour in London.

With unpredictable weather on the cards, it can sometimes be a safer option to spend your free time on indoor activities, so if you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll want to schedule this Afternoon Tea and Magical Warner Bros Studio Tour in London for Two.

Take a Potter fan on an extensive behind the scenes tour of how they made the films, and enjoy a luxury afternoon tea afterwards to reflect on everything you’ve seen.

Capture the changing seasons

The shedding of autumn leaves, the golden haze of early mornings and the burst of colours that come with the changing seasons can make anyone feel inspired, and almost all of us get the urge to capture the changing seasons with a photograph.

With this Peak District Photography Workshop, not only will you explore the paths of the ancient woodlands and Hope Valley, but get to learn from an expert photographer who will show you exactly how to capture the essence of Autumn in one click.

For those who like to spend time outdoors, or want to tune into their creative side and learn a new skill, this photography workshop in one of the most idyllic locations in the UK is the perfect respite in nature and chance to hone a new skill.

Warm up with axe forging and throwing

There’s something about Autumn that spells forests and the lingering smell of pine and wood in the air. With this Axe Forging and Throwing Session in Hereford, not only will you be able to work up a sweat and warm up from the drop in temperature, but learn how to craft an axe as well as throw it!

The beginning of a new season can often feel like the ideal time to turn over a new leaf, so why not pile in your efforts and learn how to craft a majestic axe? Embrace the artistry, and unleash your inner Viking by mastering ancient metalworking skills.

Time for a pamper

Dry skin, lower moods and tiredness are all often synonymous with reduced daylight hours. Alongside those who suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) sometimes the change in seasons can be challenging both physically and mentally.

Although you shouldn’t need an excuse to treat yourself, the change in seasons provides the perfect opportunity for a Pamper Spa Day. In this package in Corby, you can get a back massage, and facial and enjoy full access to the facilities for a day! With Spa Experiences available up and down the country, make sure you treat yourself to some pampering time in the coming weeks and months.
