COVID-19: Fun activities to help you enjoy quarantine - Part 2

While times are tough and work stressful, it’s more important than ever to try and be positive, find effective ways to switch off and give your mind a break. Bridebook have put together a series of fun activities to give you some inspiration for your downtime – following on from part 1, here are our recommendations for this week… 

1. Get Growing

A good thing about these days in quarantine is that we’re becoming much more aware of our consumption. With all this time at home, now is the perfect opportunity to start growing what you eat. Whether you have a garden to grow vegetables or a windowsill to plant herbs, there’s an option for everyone. This is something too that will continue to give back.

2. Visit a Museum

See world-class art (minus the queues and ticket prices!) with an online tour of these famous museums and galleries:

• The Natural History Museum, London – an interactive online guide
• Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam – an interactive tour 
• Musée d’Orsay, Paris – virtual tour
• British Museum, London – 360-degree view virtual tour
• National Gallery, London – 360° gallery tour
• Vatican Museums, Rome – virtual tour
• J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles – virtual tour

3. Join a Class

Keeping active during this time is super important for your mental wellbeing, but doing the same thing everyday will get boring. Why not try something new and join a class online! There are tonnes of options – these are some of ours faves:

• Glo are offering free yoga and pilates
• Follow @barrysuk on Instagram and join live daily fitness classes
• And one for all the family is PE with Joe Wicks on Youtube

These are just a few ideas to try and bring some lightness to your day – take a look at part 1 of our series and watch out for part 3 for more activities! If you have any other ideas we’d love for you to share them – you can join the UK Wedding Venue Slack group here where there’s a #feel-good-fun channel for all things positive. And of course if you have any questions at all or need any help then please do reach out to anyone in the Bridebook team.
