What's Happening in Surrey in November
With the arrival of November, we start to think about making the shift from fall to winter. We start craving cosy nights by the fire, brisk winter walks and the warmth of toques and mitts! We begin the month remembering the men and women whose sacrifices afforded us the freedoms we enjoy today, and after the 11th, the run-up to the holidays begins with the fun and frivolity of markets and craft fairs, family-friendly activities, concerts and events.
