It might seem contradictory to discuss the joys of staying in, especially after global lockdowns, where the pinnacle of outdoor activity was a slightly tense, socially-distanced park gathering. However, as the nights get shorter and temperatures drop, spending time at home has renewed appeal. When it’s too rainy or cold to head outside, there’s still plenty of ways to have fun that don’t involve endlessly scrolling through a menu of movies and TV shows.

There’s a lot of joy to be had in the humble jigsaw. Whether you’re puzzling it out by yourself or with family and friends, finding the missing piece to your favourite work of art, a gorgeous illustration or even a family picture is satisfying. If you want to take things up a notch, you can even find intricate 3D wooden puzzles that look stunning once complete.


Bring some soothing art class vibes into your living room with your very own painting party. You could go freestyle, or you can follow along with Bob Ross and paint some “happy little trees”. Not only is it fun, it can also be very therapeutic, even for those who might not consider themselves artistically-inclined.

Blanket forts aren’t just for kids; they’re for grownups, too.This guide on how to build a fort offers structurally sound advice (the key is to use sheets, rather than heavy blankets), but if you also want to make it look pretty, contrasting sheets, LED string lights and a few luxurious throw pillows can help to create a cosy nook that’s just perfect for relaxing in.

Karaoke bars are great fun, but did you know you can create one in your very own living room? For those on a budget, all you need is a hairbrush to sing into and a playlist queued up, but true enthusiasts might also want to consider investing in a karaoke machine for added authenticity.

Hosting your own cocktail (or mocktail, for the non-drinkers) party can be a huge amount of fun, especially if you end up inventing a few of your own. As a basic starter kit, you’ll need three spirits, some non-boozy options and a quality ginger ale, tonic and soda. If you’re inviting guests, ask them to bring any additions they might like to add to the mix.

Those new to the world of boardgames might consider starting out with the classics: Scrabble is perfect for logophiles, Cluedo is great for wannabe sleuths and Monopoly (according to a 2017 survey) just so happens to be the UK’s favourite game.

YouTube is essentially a giant how-to manual, filled with information on how to knit, learn a new language, or perfect your dance skills. You can also try courses, attend online lectures and even take a tour of galleries and museums from around the world, so the next time you’re stuck for something to do, why not try doing something you’ve never done before?
