With the clocks going backwards shortly and the night drawing darker earlier, it would feel now would be the ideal time to stay at home with a warm drink and a good book.
We have a few suggestions though for those across the East Midlands that can’t stand being stuck indoors, or at least stuck inside the confines of their own four walls.
With Christmas Markets popping up in Derby to Lincoln’s annual Sausage Festival, we’ve taken our pick across the area for 17 events that might be of interest for you, many of which are free to attend. But in the event a performance does require a ticket, head on over to Ticketmaster to avoid missing out.
