insideSUSSEX Magazine Issue 20 - October 2016 | Page 6

welcome Hooray for October! A gloriously crisp and cosy month characterised by chunky-knit sweaters, nights spent cuddled up on the sofa eating dinner on your lap, and, a particular favourite of mine, that wonderful seasonal switch of palate, that sees you opt for a warming glass of red over a cold glass of white. Incidentally, enjoying the odd glass of red – along with a few other easy tweaks to your lifestyle – plays a big part in looking and feeling fabulous in your 40s and beyond; head to p56 to find out more. October may well herald the drawing in of nights, but there’s so much to do across Sussex that celebrates this shift and the comforting crunch of colourful leaves underfoot that it brings. Flick to p31 and you’ll come across five packed pages of events celebrating Sussex’s rich cultural mix of theatre, music, film and food – including an entire page devoted to fireworks fun – and, we’ve rounded up a great selection of autumn activities for you to enjoy outdoors from p79 too. One event that never goes overlooked here at insideSUSSEX is Halloween – we love it! Busting the myth that Halloween is simply about children eating sweets, from p76 you’ll find our top Halloween attractions and events, ranging from family-friendly days out to adult-only witch hunts in the dead of night. If you’ve been brave enough to take on a scarefest (and survived), reward yourself at home with some tasty Halloween treats; you’ll find some easy recipes on p54. Enjoying some after-work drinks at Brighton Harbour Hotel On the topic of food, I’ve got to mention The Jetty at the brand new Brighton Harbour Hotel and Spa (reviews on p52 and p88 respectively) – Brighton has been crying out for a hotel this cool, and the food? Wow. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Please find and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @insidesussexmag to let us know what you think of the the mag.
