5 Must-Do’s This Autumn

Who doesn’t love autumn? Darker nights, Halloween, scary movies, orange leaves everywhere, hot chocolates and of course the cosiest of clothing. Yes, of course this year’s autumn will be a little different to previous years due to you-know-what. However, that doesn’t mean that we have to stop doing the fun stuff that quite frankly we deserve to do after waiting indoors for so long so here are 5 must-do’s this autumn.

  • Have Some Pumpkin Fun!

Soon enough places will be filled with pumpkins ready to be bought. But, don’t be fooled into thinking that you have to purchase yours from a supermarket. Oh no, part of the fun is going pumpkin picking isn’t it? Gather some of your friends or family and make a day of it. There are lots of places that will be open for pumpkin picking soon! Once you have your pumpkins picked then you can head back home to make hot chocolates and get carving.

  • Long Walks

You’ve got to go for a walk during in autumn, right? All dressed up in scarves, big warm coats carrying a hot drink. Places such as Clumber Park and Botanical Gardens are great for your autumn walk, land stretching on so you can take your mind off everyday life and the thought of getting stuck down into university work again. Remember to take an umbrella just in case. After all, we are in the UK and the weather is all sorts of unpredictable.

  • Seasonal Drinks

Surely, you agree that seasonal drinks are the highlight of each season? Frappe’s in the summer and pumpkin spice lattes in autumn followed by gingerbread in winter. Coffee shop dates with friends just have a real end of year feeling. Don’t you think? Besides, every corner your turn in Sheffield there is a coffee shop so really, when you think about it… This one is an unavoidable must-dos. If you don’t feel comfortable to sit inside a café yet then just get one to go!

  • Spooky Movie Night

This one really should be saved for Halloween week. Plus, you have to invite your friends’ round. You can’t watch scary movies on your own all night. Where is the fun in that? Oh, and don’t forget to get drinks and popcorn… movie night essentials. You just can’t enjoy a good movie night without them.

  • Conkers at the Ready

Even though there are so many fun things to do around this time of year, we also have to take care of the serious things. Such as, spiders. Yes, that’s right, we sometimes forget that it’s not all fun and games as autumn is also known as ‘Spider Season’. So, let’s get prepared and start gathering conkers and hiding them into the corners of our houses. It might not stop all of the little terrors getting in but at least it will keep some out! If you aren’t a fan of the look of conkers then you can add pinecones to make your place look pretty.
