Autumn in the UK: Events, Halloween & Gift Hampers

As the leaves turn golden and autumn falls, the evenings grow cooler, and the UK comes alive with traditions, festivals, and cosy moments. From UK harvest celebrations to cultural events, this season is all about warmth, comfort, and togetherness.
🎃 Autumn Events to Look Forward To
- 🍎 Harvest Festivals (September–October)
Communities across the UK celebrate the season with food fairs and markets. It’s the perfect time to enjoy seasonal produce, local bakes, and warm drinks. Wondering when does autumn start? In the UK, it officially begins on 22 September, marking the start of cooler days and festive nights.
- 🎃 Halloween (31 October)
From themed parties to family trick-or-treat fun, Halloween costumes and decorations fill the streets. Across the UK, you’ll find parades, pumpkin festivals, and spooky nights out. For those staying in, “Halloween by Halloween” can also mean creating your own cosy party at home with snacks, treats, and themed drinks. - 🔥 Bonfire Night (5 November)
Marking the tradition of Guy Fawkes Night, towns and cities light up the skies with fireworks, bonfires, and family gatherings. If you’re asking when is bonfire night, it’s celebrated every 5th November—a night of warmth, sparklers, and sharing. - 🍂 Autumn Walks & Cosy Evenings
Beyond official events, the autumn internationals in rugby and other sports bring excitement to fans, while weekends are perfect for autumn walks through colourful parks. These moments often end with something warm and comforting at home.
