welcome
I always feel a bit sorry for November. Sandwiched between October – a month in which everyone gets excited about the first crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, not to mention Halloween – and December, the time of the year that brings Christmas excitement to fever pitch and during which everyone forgives the cold weather hoping for seasonal snow, it’ s a month that can be easily overlooked.
But, here at insideSUSSEX, we’ re big fans of November – once December arrives, Christmas is merely weeks away, so actually, November is a pinnacle month during which to get planning. If you’ re having a Christmas party, head to p32 for our three-page guide on how to be the perfect host; flip to p80 for our glorious‘ Getaways’ round up of Christmas markets across the UK and beyond; if you’ re wondering where you can see Santa across Sussex, we’ ve got that covered from p70; and, if you’ re curious as to what the county has planned by way of festive parties, fairs and festivals, you’ ll find all you need to know on p29-31.
As for what to do just for November’ s sake – a month that cries out for cosy nights spent snuggled up on the sofa and warming, hearty meals – why not find time for a date night at home? We’ ve pulled together ideas to suit any sort of couple from p37. Or, if you want to wrap up and head out for a comforting plate of Sunday fare, but aren’ t sure where to go, we’ ve compiled three pages of the best roasts in Sussex, which should help sway your decision( p40).

Don’ t forget to check out our first arts and entertainment charity profile on the brilliant‘ Circus Project’ on p16-17, and head to p77 to find out why Worthing’ s suddenly Sussex’ s most sought after seaside town.
