Spooky October!

Jo MacArthur • September 25, 2026

As summer’s last bright blooms gracefully fade, autumn’s embrace literally falls

And the seasonal colours wrap around the countryside in a fiery covering of many shawls!

It is a month of brisk walks, rosy cheeks and the anticipation of a slice of something homemade,

With the harvest gathered and every footpath drenched in leaves showcasing a colourful cascade!

Let’s savour the spirit of October from Halloween and ghost stories told around cackling fires,

To the sight of majestic red deer locking horns and scurrying hedgehogs across all the shires.

The Legends of Motown are performing at the Town Hall with timeless hits and an evening of fun,

Along with The Carpenters Experience featuring their classics such as ‘We’ve Only just Begun’!

The Sodbury Players are also presenting a spine-tingling double bill of original plays,

And not too far away The Cheltenham Literary Festival will celebrate with subjects to amaze!

So let’s get ready for the clocks to go back and the stunning vibrant foliage of reds and gold,

With a satisfying nip in the air to accompany the natural beauty and creating a sight to behold!
