If you don’t have the energy(or time!) to go to the pumpkin patch, then try something new! You can ‘carve,’ paint and decorate cardboard pumpkins and then make them into perforated pumpkin luminaries. This method is ‘less mess and no stress’, using materials you already have on hand!

Zainab, our Contributor, shares her family’s first time at a pumpkin farm this week ... a rather ‘halloweeny’ trip during the school holidays where they had a had a lot of fun.

The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is a hidden gem in the heart of London. Perfect for half term or one to add to the bucket list. Lara’s family visited this summer and realised it ticked all the boxes — culture, history, horses, cars, carriages, and stories that have inspired fairytales! It’s a semi outdoor museum, so it’s easy to relax at, as well. Book a space and visit The Queen’s working stables, it’s a wonderful day in London.
