Baby, it's cold outside! It might not be time to talk about the man in the red suit yet, but we can certainly testify here in the What's On offices that it's 'big coat' weather. Mind you - while it might only be November, it's time to start thinking about mince pies and mulled wine. There are some super festive events coming up to get you into the Christmas spirit - from shopping to fairs; theatre to exhibits and more. So get flicking through our humongous events diary and start thinking about which ones you want to go to - then get booking! Until next time, The What's On team x
