It feels like the Dress Rehearsal before the big show . . . Christmas! But you’re stuck at home and wanting to get out of the house . . . what to do?
As rain falls quite often and people start to don their fleece lined pants and wellies or Wellington boots to protect their feet from the cold . . . there’s some fun activities which are the prelude to the Christmas season!
Guy Fawkes Night kicks off the holiday season on 05 November with bonfires and fireworks to commemorate the failed Gunpowder Plot. In 1605 there was a plan to assassinate the Protestant King James I and his parliament . . . Guy Fawkes was arrested while guarding the explosives and the plot was foiled so people celebrate the foiled assassination attempt with bonfires and fireworks.
Christmas Markets start to pop up as we anticipate the coming Christmas season! Have you ever checked out the Covent Christmas market which is filled with sparking lights, a 60 foot plus Christmas tree, late night shopping, daily snow showers, seasonal food and drink and warm, mulled wine? Link to Christmas Markets in London.
During cold winter months, many English Pubs offer hot, mulled cider to entice Londoners to come out of their houses, sit and chat by a warm fire, and recount the year over a hot cup of mulled wine and cider wine served with piping hot dishes that include the season’s root vegetables, mushrooms, blackberries, and apples.
A beef pie sounds delightful and like something that will leave one in a food coma and ready for a deep night’s sleep – a pie made of a medley of chicken, leek, portobello mushroom and roasted roots. Check out this list of some of the top pubs to cosy up to in the winter.
Do you want to be within walking distance to the Christmas markets or maybe you want to stay centrally located to the top gastro pubs which are curating a Michelin Star menu that features your favourite comfort foods and craft beers . . .
