Autumnal Date Night Ideas
*This is a collaborative post on Autumnal date night ideas but all words are my own
Summer might be the season of love, but there’s nothing like a snuggly Autumn. Halloween might not be a holiday associated with love, but cooler evenings and candles burning its time to cuddle up on the sofa. Autumn is my favourite month and as the festive season starts to creep up on you it’s important to take some time for each other. It’s easy to get into a rut when you feel comfortable and not make as much time for each other. So whether you find time each week or each month to have a proper date night make sure you’re taking the time.
It might be harder to go out for date night in the Autumn months as you never know what the weather will do. I’ve done a whole post of date night ideas inside which you can take a look at. But here are some Autumnal date night ideas to spend time with your partner.
Autumnal date night- Pumpkin picking
Me and Luke went pumpkin picking for the very first time at the start of October and it was so much fun. And you can’t get more Autumnal than a pumpkin picking date.
The weather was rubbish and it rained the whole time we were there but that didn’t stop us from having fun. It felt quite practical as we were going to buy pumpkins that we needed, but it was so much more than that. And I actually think the bad weather made it more fun. Then you can do part two of the date when you come to carve the pumpkins.
Throw a Halloween party for two
Halloween falls on a Sunday this year so that’s the perfect excuse to celebrate all day. Decorate your home with some spooky decor, watch some Halloween movies and eat all the spooky snacks.
I’m not the biggest fan of horror movies so my film choices would be things like Hocus Pocus and Sleepy Hollow. Personally, I think M&S have knocked it out of the park with Halloween-themed edible treats so I’ve been slowly picking up bits from there in my weekly shop to keep for the day.
Autumnal date night- Indoor picnic
Following on from the idea above throw yourselves an indoor picnic. With the weather being so unpredictable do a similar thing at home. Grab all the picky bits of food that you love and some nice drinks and do the same thing at home.
We’re massive fans of buffets and picnic-style food so this is right up our street. It’s always something I look forward to each Christmas when the party food comes out and you have an excuse to buy it all. Of course, if the weather’s nice then take it to your garden or local park, but maybe take a jumper with you.
Bedroom time
It’s so important as a couple to enjoy some intimacy and time together in the bedroom (or where ever else you choose). While sex and physical contact isn’t always the biggest part of a relationship it is an important part. Perhaps you want to buy some oils and give each other a massage. Or maybe you want to buy some toys to use together like a masturbator (click here for some ideas).
Whatever intimacy means to you make sure you take some time for it.
Other Autumnal date night ideas
There’s so many other Autumnal date night ideas including:
- Go on a local ghost tour
- Go for a long walk and just talk without devices and phones to distract you
- Bake sweet treats and spend the evening eating them
- Go to a comedy club or local theatre show
- Attend an Oktoberfest celebration and drink steins of beer
- Go camping and light a bonfire

We are going camping in a few weeks! Of course, it isn’t quite a date since it’s with the scouts and the kids will be there. We do “good massages” using oils at least once per month 🙂
Autumnal camping will be so nice x
Fall is by far my favorite season…All these colors, just amazing…We’re going pumpkin picking next week, can’t wait!
You’re going to have so much fun x
The pumpkin farms and fall festivals are always so much fun for the family or as a date night!
I just wish we had more of them in the UK! x
These are great ideas. I love cooking together, going hiking or for an evening walk or sipping wine over a firepit in the evening.
I’d love to get a firepit for our garden when we get it sorted x
I love the indoor picnic idea. That would be cute!
We haven’t been on a date in a while. Life seems to just get in the way, we will have to make an effort soon
Pumpking picking seems like an interesting date. I may try this the next time I’m in a place where pumpkins are in abundance.
There seem to be quite a few pumpkin patches you can visit here which I’d never really thought of before x
I did lol at Halloween in the bedroom 🙂 Definitely will spice things up!
Great ideas, I’ll keep them in mind. This’ll be the best date in awile now I know these ideas. Thanks for sharing!
These are all great tips. I love pumpkin picking, looks so exciting! So excited for the coming holidays. I can’t wait!
I’m definitely taking notes! I’ve never been on a picnic indoors but I would want to try it.
It’s just an excuse to eat lots of nice food haha x
There are some great themed ideas here! I like the idea of an indoor picnic, especially as it’s gotten chilly out.
We went pumpkin picking but it wasn’t very romantic with two kids tagging along! Must plan something else soon.
Haha I bet it wasn’t x
These are such great ideas. I can’t wait to share them with my husband.
Great date night ideas, we recently went to a comedy night locally and had so much fun, and definitely want to go again. Another thing we want to do is an escape room
It’s great to have some suggestions for date nights for this time of year. I like the sound of the ghost tour, that could be quite fun.
I’m so jumpy I know I’d be awful there haha x
