Winter is coming, and so is the endless rotation of festive drinks, work parties and Christmas catch-ups. But before December swallows your diary and leaves little time to gorge on cheese and romcoms, I've curated a list of ways to enjoy one of my favourite months of the year - November. Despite the increasing cold, there's nothing quite like a clear sky and beaming sun on a crisp, end-of-autumn day. And there's a lot going on in the UK in the lead up to the festive season, whether you want to be indoors and cosy or outdoors in your earmuffs.
In London, a curated, restorative wellness stay will ease you into the Christmas chaos, while Thanksgiving dinners are cropping up across the capital (marshmallow potatoes, anyone?). In Manchester, the city's unmissable art fair brings creators, curators and collectors under one roof, while The Traitors fans will be thrilled to hear that you can play your own faithful or treacherous game in a beautiful Norfolk castle. And if you really can't wait until December for a dose of Santa-filled fun, there's a beautiful light show in Kent that will knock your festive socks off. Take a look at 8 bits not to miss this November.
