Our Autumn-themed event ideas can be tailored for shopping centres, town centres, corporate events or private events to suit your audience, budget and goals. Here are some of our proven ideas to inspire your next Autumn-themed event.
Autumn Harvest-Theme Event
Bringing the atmosphere and experience of traditional harvest markets. Our harvest-themed event brings the vibrant and warmth of harvest markets with a wide range of props and theming such as rustic wooden stalls, bunting, pumpkins, hay bales and more. We can transform your event space into a cosy, picture-perfect Autumn setting that captures the charm of the season. Whether you’re enlivening spaces in town centres, or activation for shopping centres, our immersive theming and dressing will create lots of amazing photo opportunities and also plenty of add-ons for themed activities such as autumn arts and crafts, pumpkin carving, seasonal market stalls and more.
Academy of Spook
Autumn half-term is the perfect time to host Halloween-themed events like our Academy of Spook, which is an interactive theatrical experience that is spooky but not scary - ideal to appeal to young audiences of different ages. Children are invited to train to become “scare experts” in various fun-filled workshops, complete with theatrical staff in themed costumes, such as dance workshop, storytelling, etc. This has proven to work brilliantly as an experiential campaign in event spaces, perfect for driving footfall and dwell time for shopping centres and town centres.
Howloween: Dog-Themed Halloween Event
With the growing popularity of pet-friendly places, such as shopping centres, garden centres and other retail spaces. Howloween can bring an unique twist to your autumn-themed event. Dogs and their owners are invited to enter costume competitions to pose in our fully themed Autumn set up. Dog events are always great for drawing in families, dog lovers and social media awareness. You can even include agility zones or other event ideas to increase interaction further. Howloween is a unique way to tap into a growing audience demographic while firming on-brand for the season.

Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch
One of our most popular autumn-themed events - every year we bring thousands of real pumpkins to various patches to urban areas nationwide.
