Curl up with a good book
Nothing says autumn like getting lost in the pages of a good story. Bognor Regis Library is a wonderful place to stock up on reading for all ages, from children’s picture books to the latest bestsellers. For something more unique, Heygates Bookshop in town is a treasure trove for book lovers. Browse the shelves, discover hidden gems, and take home a story to enjoy on a chilly evening.
Warm up with autumn snacks and hot drinks
Bognor Regis is home to plenty of independent cafés perfect for warming up on a crisp autumn day. From indulgent hot chocolates piled high with cream to freshly baked treats, there’s no shortage of seasonal delights. Whether you’re after a cosy corner for a solo coffee or somewhere to meet with friends, local cafés are the place to be when the air turns cooler.
Step into nature
Autumn is a beautiful time to head outdoors, with colourful leaves underfoot and fresh air. From seaside strolls to countryside escapes, Bognor Regis is perfectly placed for walks of all kinds. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites in a dedicated guide – so grab your wellies and explore!
Pick the perfect pumpkin
No autumn is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch. From choosing the perfect pumpkin to carve for Halloween to snapping photos amongst the fields of orange, it’s a seasonal tradition for many families. Slindon is famous for its pumpkin displays and patches, and there are several other spots across West Sussex offering pick-your-own fun. It’s a great way to spend a autumnal weekend morning and get into the autumn spirit.
Indoor play when it rains
We all know autumn weather can be unpredictable, and for families with little ones, indoor play areas are a lifesaver. In Bognor Regis, Little Piggies offers soft play fun, while just up the road in Barnham, Shweet is a fantastic spot to let the children burn off energy. For something a bit different, Little Street in Chichester is a miniature town where kids can role-play shopkeepers, firefighters, or even café owners. Perfect for a rainy-day adventure that still keeps the fun flowing.
Make the most of the season
Whether you’re wrapped up warm with a book, sipping a hot drink in a cosy café, exploring autumn colours on a walk, picking out pumpkins, or keeping little ones entertained indoors, there’s plenty to enjoy this season in and around Bognor Regis.
