Autumn is the season of plenty. Traditionally, the harvest months meant tables overflowing with the fruits of labour: a time to enjoy.

Nowadays most of us are back to work at our desks after a summer of indulgence. But that doesn’t mean we can’t channel the autumn spirit of abundance and merry-making — at The Royal Exchange, this is our MO. Autumn cornucopia finds its quintessential expression in new releases from Fortnum’s and Laduree, as well as the return of The Libertine weekend opening hours which means: Sunday roasts are back.

You fashionistas are particularly fond of this season: celebrating the return of jacket weather and the chance to add layers. Our resident style lines SIRPLUS and Hermes are making the most of the crisp, fresh air with new knitwear and accessories. And we’ve colourful releases from TUMI, Montblanc and Aspinal of London — including the all-important diary for those looking to kick off the new work year. This month we’re spotlighting The Royal Exchange Jewellers, our very own gemstone experts, who have a special series of autumnal rings in store. Best of all? We’ve two competitions this month with Fortnum’s and The Libertine — head over to our Instagram for the chance to win these fabulous autumn bounties.
