welcome
Oh, how I do love October. Each month has its attributes – December has Christmas, April has springtime and flowers, August has sunshine( sometimes) – but October has crunchy leaves, warm jumpers, and the best part: Halloween! My inner child can’ t help but put on fancy dress, have a scary movie marathon and eat sweets‘ til she’ s sick to her stomach. Bliss.
Perhaps there are a few of you out there who like Halloween as much as I do? If you’ re a kindred spirit, start on page 82 for our special Visit Kent feature, which includes plenty to do this Halloween, and then head over to page 102 for insideKENT’ s listing of top Halloween events and attractions. You’ ll also find Halloween-inspired fashion starting on page 67, and some grown-up spooky décor on page 130.
As soon as you’ re done pumpkin carving and eating your fill of skull-shaped chocolate, winter will be on its way. Love it or hate it, you’ ll have to keep warm this season, and the best way is by curling up in front of a fire. These days, you don’ t even need a chimney! A small space on a wall will do – have a look at our extended fireplace feature starting on p124 for some inspiration.
Letting my inner child out for Halloween
