Things to do in Hampshire November
My aim is to make your weekends better. Our spare time is precious, sacred in fact, and I want you to have excellent weekend experiences, especially before the festive magic creeps in during December.
I’ve been writing a version of this guide for almost two years now and fingers crossed it might have helped you discover something new or different to do with your spare time.
My apologies for missing early November, life became very busy and sometimes something’s got to give. But, there’s plenty going on in the second half of this month for you to discover. In fact, I struggled to curate this list like I normally do because there’s so much fun afoot.
