Indoor season returns

November is firmly an indoor month in most served markets — concerts, comedy and theatre dominate as the first holiday markets begin to appear.

  • Catch a concert, comedy night or theatre show indoors
  • Look for the first Christmas and holiday markets opening this month
  • Book ahead for December's festive programming before it sells out
