Not all days are filled with sunshine and bright blue skies. Sometimes rainy days come along. And although they may seem like a drag, there are quite a few fun things you can do on a rainy day! In this blog post, we’ll explore some activities to help you make the most of those dreary days. So next time it rains, don’t let the weather get you down. Try out one of these activities instead! Have a film or series marathon Let’s start with the most classic indoor activity for a rainy day — catching up on all the films and TV shows you’ve been meaning to watch. Make some popcorn, grab a blanket, and settle in for a marathon of your favourite films or shows. You can even use this opportunity to discover new movies and series that you might never have had the chance to watch otherwise. Curl up with a good book Another excellent way to spend a rainy day is reading a good book. Whether you’re into mystery, romance, or non-fiction, make time to relax with a great read. This is the perfect rainy day activity for when you want to take it easy and just relax. For the ideal page-turning experience, make sure you’re comfortable. Grab a pillow, put on some cosy clothes, and curl up in your favourite spot. There’s nothing like reading a good book while the rain patters gently outside. Bake some tasty treats Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly-baked cookies or bread? Especially on a rainy day, the warm, comforting scent of baking can brighten up your mood. Try a new recipe or experiment with different flavours if you're feeling creative. Or, if you’re in the mood for something simple, stick to your tried-and-true favourites. Either way, you’ll end up with some delicious treats to enjoy. Order your favourite food Sometimes, the best thing to do on a rainy day is to just relax and treat yourself. So why not order your favourite dishes from Bolt Food and have them delivered to your doorstep? Plus, you’ll often find special offers and discounts to save on your rainy day feast! Whether you’re in the mood for pizza, Chinese food, or a nice steak, there’s nothing better than indulging in a delicious meal. Just make sure you’re alone or have enough to share — because once your friends and family catch a whiff of that food, they’ll be begging for some, too! Solve a puzzle or play board games Puzzles and board games are great for both solo and group play. If you’re by yourself, enjoy a good jigsaw puzzle and see how quickly you can put it together. Are you with your family or friends? Then break out the Monopoly board; great for both kids and adults! Just be careful — this board game can get pretty competitive. Visit museums or art galleries Rain shouldn’t stop you from exploring and appreciating culture. Museums and art galleries are great places to visit on a rainy day. Not only will you stay dry, but you’ll also get to learn something new! Start with a history or science museum if you want to learn more about the world around us. Or, if you’re feeling artsy, check out an art gallery. There’s nothing like admiring beautiful works of art, rain or shine. Find your way out of an escape room Escape rooms are popular for a good reason! They’re fun to do and ideal for groups of friends or family. If you’ve never tried an escape room before, the premise is simple. You and your team are locked in a room, and you must use your wit and teamwork to solve puzzles and find your way out. Don’t worry; if you get stuck, there’s always someone on hand to give you a hint. Play some indoor games and sports Just because it's pouring outside doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun! There are plenty of indoor games and sports that you can take part in when you need to escape a downpour. Here are a few ideas: Table tennis; Bowling; Mini Golf; Billards; Darts; Basketball; Volleyball. The list goes on! There are tonnes of indoor games and sports to choose from, so there’s bound to be something everyone enjoys — be it friends, family, or your little ones. Plan your next holiday What better way to beat the rainy day blues than planning your next holiday? Start by dreaming up your ideal destination – a great activity for when you need a little escapism. Is it Europe’s picturesque landscapes you’re after? Or maybe you want to explore Asia? Whatever your choice, begin researching travel information and start putting your dream trip together. Not only is it fun, but it’ll also give you something to look forward to. So go ahead and start planning — your next holiday’s just a few raindrops away! Go to the cinema Watching a film at home is always an option on a rainy day. But we’re doing it every day anyway. So instead, go out and watch a film at your local cinema! While away for a few hours while you munch on some delicious popcorn while you’re at it. Everyone loves a good film — children and adults alike. So whether you're alone or with others, there’s sure to be a film everyone enjoys. Get around without getting wet We hope these rainy day ideas have inspired you to make the most of bad weather days. You can do some of them without leaving the house, but others will require you to brave the rain. When you leave the house, remember that Bolt is the perfect way to get around without getting wet! We offer a convenient, safe, and reliable ride-hailing service that will get you where you need to go — no umbrella required. So next time there’s a storm brewing, don’t let it ruin your plans — get out there and have some fun! And when you do, let Bolt be your ride.
