The Best Things to Do in October and November

As autumn has officially rolled in and the air seems to have gotten that bit colder and fresher, October and November are perfect months for diving headfirst into the pre-holiday season's magic. From soaking up the colours of nature at this time of year to kicking back with some well-deserved chill time, or even getting a head start on the festive vibes, here’s a lineup of must-try experiences that’ll have you loving every moment of this cosy, crisp time of year. 

Hot Air Balloon Rides and Autumnal Spa Days 

As the weather cools, it's the ideal time to indulge in some self-care. A spa day can offer the relaxation you need before the hustle of the festive season begins. WonderDays has a variety of wellness experiences, including twilight spa sessions and outdoor yoga classes, that embrace the tranquillity of the season. 

Taking things to the next level, Autumn is a great time for a hot air balloon ride! Picture yourself gliding through crisp air, surrounded by landscapes painted in stunning shades of red, orange, and gold. Whether you're a sunrise chaser or a sunset lover, floating above the countryside is nothing short of magical. You can pick from top spots across the UK to soak in all that seasonal beauty from the skies—no filter needed! 

Spooky Experiences for Halloween 

October wouldn’t be complete without some spine-tingling experiences. Head over to a haunted house, take part in a murder mystery dinner, or try out an escape room with a spooky twist. WonderDays offers immersive experiences that are perfect for a group of friends or even a unique date night during Halloween. 

Whisky Tasting and Distillery Tours 

Warm up from the inside with a whisky tasting experience or distillery tour. As the nights grow longer, there's nothing quite like sipping on a dram of fine Scotch to keep you toasty. We have a variety of whisky experiences, perfect for a weekend adventure in cities like Edinburgh and beyond. 

Autumnal River Cruises, Country Retreats and Scenic Breaks 

As the weather cools, it's the ideal time to indulge in some self-care. A spa day can offer the relaxation you need before the hustle of the festive season begins. WonderDays has a variety of wellness experiences, including twilight spa sessions and outdoor yoga classes, that embrace the tranquillity of the season. For those looking to take in the autumn scenery from the water, a river cruise can offer a calm and scenic experience. WonderDays offers river cruises in beautiful locations such as Oxfordshire, where you can enjoy afternoon tea or a glass of wine while drifting along, surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage. 

Pooch Therapy and Dog-Friendly Days Out 

Autumn walks are even better when you have a furry friend by your side. Take advantage of pooch therapy experiences where you can enjoy cuddle sessions with adorable puppies or opt for a dog-friendly day out in the countryside. We offer a range of dog friendly experiences that are perfect for this time of year. 

Early Christmas Shopping Sprees and Afternoon Teas

Enjoy a pre-Christmas shopping spree in a bustling market town, followed by a festive afternoon tea or a relaxing break at a nearby hotel. WonderDays has a selection of afternoon teas which are the perfect way to end a busy day of Christmas shopping and will get you into the holiday mood.
