October is here, bringing with it crisp mornings, golden leaves, darker evenings and that unmistakable feeling that the year is beginning to wind down. It’s a month of transition – a time to settle back into home life, make plans for the months ahead and, perhaps, start thinking about Christmas…
This month, we’re getting ahead of the festive rush with our Christmas Party Guide (from p23), showcasing some of the wonderful local venues ready to help you celebrate in style. Whether you’re organising the office Christmas party, getting the family together or simply looking for an excuse to gather your favourite people around a table, there are plenty of fantastic local options to discover. Go to page 25 to find out more.
Our other major feature this month is a 20-page Autumn Interiors Special, celebrating the brilliant independent businesses on our doorstep that can help you transform your home (from p43)
There’s plenty more to explore throughout the issue, too. Turn to page 14 for a look at Halloween at the American Museum and a festive food preview at Roves Farm. On page 66, discover Solunara, a new business offering an opportunity to pause, switch off and experience the restorative power of sound. And if relaxation is what you’re after, page 67 will give you a first look at the exciting new spa at Bishopstrow. So, grab a cuppa, get cosy and enjoy your October issue. There’s plenty inside to inspire, indulge and help you make the most of the season – and yes, it’s officially time to start thinking about Christmas!
