Local Events
Here’s what’s coming up locally, a mix of arts, food, music and bonfire night magic.
Be sure to book ahead (many events sell out) and check links/venues for last-minute updates.
Thursday 13th November @ Bunch of Grapes, Bradford on Avon
A warm, inviting evening, meeting new and old friends.
7th - 15th November, Various Locations
A refined classical music festival bringing together world-class performers in historic settings. The perfect cultural escape for an autumn evening
7th November, 9:45am – 1:30 pm @ Westonbirt Arboretum
Feel like you need a reset? Nature is calling. Forest Bathing or Shinrin Yoku, as it is known in Japan, is the gentle art of immersing our senses in the atmosphere of the forest.
It is a deeply therapeutic method of allowing the natural world back in. (And there's scientific studies to back up it's effects)
11th - 22nd November, Various Times, Theatre Royal Bath
A cultural experience, witnessing a literacy classic on stage.
Up All Night
Thursday 6th November @ Bread & Jam.
A night of music and dancing for women only, 90s/00s/ RNB. It starts early, and ends early (our vibe to a tee!).
