National Trust is a conservation charity that cares for historic places, gardens and landscapes across the UK, welcoming millions of visitors each year. Food and drink play an important role in the visitor experience, helping to extend time on site and create memorable moments alongside heritage and nature.

As part of a seasonal campaign, the National Trust team wanted a suite of eye-catching food and beverage posters for use across their cafés and restaurants. The campaign ran over the autumn and Halloween period, so the creative needed to feel warm, inviting and subtly playful, while still sitting comfortably within the National Trust brand.

Initial copy and messaging directions were supplied, but there was scope for creative interpretation. The challenge was to elevate the ideas visually and tonally, adding character and charm without straying from established brand guidelines.

Working closely with the client team, we developed a series of poster designs that balanced seasonal personality with brand consistency. Using rich autumnal colour palettes, carefully styled food photography and warm, heritage-inspired typography, the visuals captured the cosy, indulgent feel of the season.

The final poster suite brought a strong seasonal identity to National Trust food and beverage spaces, helping sites highlight their autumn offerings in a way that felt both distinctive and on-brand. The campaign supported a more engaging in-venue experience, encouraging visitors to treat themselves and enhancing the overall sense of warmth and welcome during the autumn period.
