Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Monday 6 October 2025. Also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, it’s a celebration of harvest, reunion and a very photogenic full moon. Lanterns are lit, stories are told, and families gather to share something delicious under the brightest moon of the year. 

Apart from joining local lantern walks and supporting your favourite restaurants, there are plenty of lovely at-home ideas:

Step outside, find the moon, make a wish.

Keep it cosy and glowy (indoor health & safety hat firmly on).

Traditionally mooncakes and tea, but we’re also very pro-dumpling sharing.

The legend of Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit is a great place to start. 

The easiest way to mark the moment? A lantern-lit feast at home. Fill your steamer with a box (or three) of your favourites - Ding Dong Favourites, Celebrations, Legends — and add something sweet like Custard Buns for good luck and good vibes. Cosy, simple, very moon-appropriate.
