While we can’t transport you to the lofty surrounds of Vermont, we can offer a round up of some great autumnal activities to enjoy in Dublin at the moment. Pull on your knee high boots, pick up some pumpkin spicers to go and get in loser – we’re doing autumnal things.

Paint a Pumpkin with Drink and Draw Ireland

Paint a Halloween Pumpkin, a Starry Night Over Dublin or even a sugar skull, fuelled by a pumpkin juice or two to get the creativity flowing. Drink and Draw have a range of events happening throughout the month of October, details of which are below.

Candle Making at the Design House

With the energy crisis leaving us all too shook to turn the heating on for even a minute, we certainly deserve to light the good candle as the evenings get colder. The Design House hold regular candle making workshops at their Temple Bar HQ with afternoon tea treats to accompany – a chance to bring home your perfect scented flame. More info on workshops HERE.

Killruddery’s Annual Scarecrow Competition

Technically outside of Dublin, but we couldn’t not include Killruddery’s beloved scarecrow competition. Scarecrow kits are purchasable from Killruddery’s Farm Shop now, and you can then enter your finished design to win a number of prizes. A great way to get creative without ending up with a pumpkin’s insides all over your kitchen.
