What’s New This October? Explore Our Latest Handpicked Yorkshire eMagazine
October always feels like the month when the season properly settles in. The evenings draw closer, the layers come back out and there’s a natural shift towards making life feel a little warmer, calmer and more comfortable.

This month’s Handpicked Yorkshire eMagazine leans into that feeling, bringing together seasonal ideas for the home and garden, practical advice for everyday life, thoughtful health and wellbeing features, local stories, business insight and plenty of good things to eat.
As always, it’s also a chance to discover the brilliant independent businesses, experts and events happening locally, with a mix of useful reads and lighter inspiration to dip into whenever you have a few minutes.

At home, we’re looking at natural, understated ways to bring autumn indoors, alongside ideas for keeping gardens inviting as the evenings get colder and making outdoor spaces work a little harder with lighting, warmth and comfortable seating. There’s practical property advice too, plus tips for supporting wildlife as the seasons change.
Elsewhere, we turn our attention to work, wellbeing and the little things that can make everyday life feel easier. From moving more during a deskbound working day and reducing mental overload, to autumn style, sleep and energy, there’s plenty to think about without turning October into another self-improvement project. We’re also celebrating what’s happening locally, including the Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival, local businesses and some clever transformations from Yorkshire independents.

And, because colder evenings deserve good food, the final stretch of the magazine is decidedly comforting. There are one-pot ideas, seasonal pears, warming classics and autumn recipes, alongside a look at whether dark roast really means more caffeine. October’s produce is made for roasting, braising and slow cooking, so this is very much the month for food that earns its keep.
