Halloween & Bonfire Night
As the weather turns colder and the evenings get shorter, the excitement of Halloween and Guy Fawkes night is just around the corner and we are looking forward to enjoying what November may bring.
Bonfire night will start the month off with a bang, and the wintery lead up to Christmas begins. The town feels much quieter and relaxed too and there is a sparkle of magic in the air as hints of festivities start to appear; with Christmas markets, art classes and shopping taking place. November is the perfect time for a winter break by the sea. But just before we say hello to November, the 31st October offers the chance for all the family to have a bit of spooky fun.
