Make a date in Cheshire<br />
There’s fun to be had throughout September and October in<br />
Cheshire. With events, festivals and attractions all over the<br />
county, there are unmissable days out right on your doorstep.<br />
Don’t miss these highlights:<br />
The Nantwich Food Festival takes over Nantwich’s historic town<br />
centre from 2nd – 4th September, with tons of local and national<br />
producers and artisans mingling with the town’s independent<br />
shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.<br />
There’s still a chance to catch some giant jurassic creatures at<br />
Chester Zoo’s Dinosaurs: The Next Adventure, but you’d better<br />
hurry before they disappear on 4th September. It’s the zoo’s<br />
largest and most fearsome collection yet, with a terrifying lifesize<br />
Giganotosaurus and a very ill-mannered Baryonyx.<br />
The country’s biggest cycling event comes to Cheshire, as the<br />
Tour of Britain winds its way from Congleton to Tatton Park on<br />
6th September.<br />
For a more leisurely pursuit, Tatton Park’s Outdoor Cinema is<br />
screening three silver-screen classics, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing and<br />
the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, from 9th – 11th<br />
September. Full details at www.thelunacinema.com.<br />
Also at Tatton Park, the Cheshire Decorative Antiques and Art Fair<br />
returns from the 16th – 17th September, bringing together a huge<br />
array of antiques and artworks, including many truly rare pieces.<br />
Pull on your running shoes for the MBNA Chester Marathon on<br />
2nd October. Starting<br />
and finishing at Chester<br />
Racecourse, the route takes in all the<br />
city’s iconic landmarks and the picturesque<br />
surrounding countryside.<br />
For those who prefer a little more horsepower, the Dayinsure<br />
Wales Rally GB roars into action from 27th – 30th October. The<br />
penultimate round of the World Rally Championship features<br />
stages in North Wales and a fun family event at Cholmondeley<br />
Castle.<br />
Treat your tastebuds with The Food and Gift Fair, Tatton Park<br />
from 29th & 30th October, with mini shops chock full of<br />
specialist traders from all over the north west,<br />
with everything from chocolates and<br />
cheese to original art and fashion.<br />
Finally, those with a strong<br />
constitution can embark on a special<br />
Halloween Ghost Tour of Chester on<br />
31st October. Your ghoulish guide will<br />
take you on a nighttime journey through<br />
the city’s gruesome past, and some of its<br />
most haunted spots.<br />

Autumn Style from Cheshire Oaks<br />
September marks the beginning of Autumn, and our friends at Cheshire Oaks Designer<br />
Outlet are back with some top trend advice for the coming months:<br />
Autumn is a great time of year to go shopping, with new trends, a new colour palette and<br />
lush fabrics in the shops. It’s the time that we invest in fashion staples, like the classic<br />
white shirt, the timeless wool coat or that perfect piece of knitwear.<br />
Here are the season’s must-have trends:<br />
The Great Coat - This season, designers are putting the ‘great’ back in great coat, with<br />
exaggerated proportions and subtle embellishments. This season, the classic<br />
investment piece has gone for forest browns and greens, or go next level with a wild cat<br />
print.<br />
The Evening Dress - Oh yes, evening dresses are back on the catwalk. This season’s<br />
collections emphasised elongated silhouettes and classical details. Keep your eyes<br />
peeled for lavish embroidery, brocades, floral details and sumptuous velvets in deep<br />
blue, rich red and black.<br />
Velvet - Velvet is the big takeaway from the AW16 shows. Vast swathes of the stuff in<br />
all colours and styles. Sporty silhouettes are updated with sumptuous<br />
velvets, and tailored cuts in devoré velvet achieve a unique sartorial<br />
elegance. Look for party wear in deep purples and rich reds.<br />
Gold - Sophisticated and opulent, gold is back on the<br />
agenda this autumn. Metallic threads and liquid velvet<br />
add special appeal, while shimmering sequins, lamé<br />
and coated materials in golden hues take your party<br />
wear up a notch.<br />
