These are a few ofour favourite November things
LET YOUR
ADVENTURES
BEGIN
Murmurations at Otmoor RSPB Nature Reserve
Make haste here at the end of November to see the startling murmuration. 80-100 thousand starlings will roost here in the winter months and it’s a spectacle you don’t want to miss!
The Tree Barn, Christmas Common
Are we making this up?! A barn filled with Christmas delights at a place called Christmas Common! No we’re not…buy us a decoration whilst you’re there please!
Appleton Christmas Barn
Too early?! Nope! The magic is here! Reindeers, a barn full of THOUSANDS of Christmas decorations and buckets of Christmas spirit. And did I mention it’s free? Tra la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaa!
White Horse Hill
The highest point in Oxfordshire! Views over six counties and and a blustery wind that is perfect for kite flying. Bring a coat and hang on because this can be quite a wild ride!

FORGET TO
write those Santa letters! We are pretty sure everyone has been their most excellent selves this year so get scribing!
