This month we're especially looking forward to two dates of our own. On the 5th, Matilda joins the House & Home stage at the FT Weekend Festival to talk reuse and repair. Then from the 21st to the 24th, we're hosting our MG&Co. x Taskrabbit DIY workshops in store. Four days of hands-on sessions covering the small skills that make jobs at home feel more manageable.Whether you're hunting for antiques, browsing vintage markets or seeking out a craft show, 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 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.
