London

Claire Balding, Fred Sirieix and AJ Odudu have been out filming across the country to help inspire Brits to take an autumn break, from fishing in Southwold and biking in Yorkshire to rediscovering our cultural icons in London.

School’s back and summer may be (nearly) over but there’s plenty of activities and experiences happening across the country to ease us into September and make the most of fresh, crisp autumnal days.

Autumn Equinox is around the corner (22^nd September) bringing with it a host of new season treats, from wildlife wonders and golden landscapes to the chance to explore our landmarks, icons and coastal gems without the crowds.

August offers a month of jam-packed new offerings, with exhibitions, experiences, eateries, accommodation and activities, there’s lots to keep us entertained and make the most of the last month of summer and a bank holiday weekend.

As we begin to enjoy a sense of normality with our pubs, restaurants, hotels and galleries throwing open the doors to welcome us back, we’ve highlighted many of the new offerings we’ll have the chance to experience over long summer days and beyond.

With many of our favourite attractions now beginning to reopen their doors, we’ve rounded up some ways to enjoy outings across the country.

Summer is coming and there is no time like now to sip a glass of wine, drink ‘a pint of your finest’, or enjoy some gin to celebrate England’s vast array of breweries, vineyards and distilleries.

It’s a case of armchair travel, planning for later, mastering those gardening skills and supporting your favourite local foodie hotspots this month.

It’s a case of armchair travel in this month’s bulletin as we stay in and stay safe.

To celebrate World Vegan Day taking place this year on 1 November, we’ve rounded up a selection of vegan eats, accommodation and experiences from across England.
