September brings things back into focus. The light softens, diaries fill again, and there's fresh appetite for making and mending after the summer. This month we're especially looking forward to two dates of our own: Matilda joins the House & Home stage at the FT Weekend Festival on the 5th to talk reuse and repair, and from the 21st to the 24th we're hosting our MG&Co. x Taskrabbit workshops in store, four days of hands-on sessions covering the small skills that make jobs at home feel more manageable.

Whether you're searching for antiques, browsing vintage markets or drawn to a craft show worth the trip, we've pulled together the dates worth making time for this month.

October eases into slower, indoor pleasures, shorter days, the first proper cold snap, and settiling inside settling in for the season. Whether you're in London or planning a day out, there's plenty worth noting. We'll be updating this list month by month, so if there's somewhere you think we should include, let us know at info@mgco.com.
