It’s November, that post-Halloween/pre-holiday season frenzy when there’s almost too much to do. Where to go? What to do? What to get your hard-to-buy-for aunt? Everything is kicking off, but how to sort it?

We decided to showcase unique events going on around the UK, the ones that might not spring to mind when considering the holiday run-up. You’ll find everything from classical music to a murmuration.
