November breaks

November in the UK brings the full onset of late autumn, with cooler temperatures and often more unpredictable weather. Daytime temperatures typically range from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F), and the evenings can feel quite chilly.

It’s a perfect time for cosy countryside stays, with bare trees, frosty mornings, and a peaceful, reflective atmosphere. Rain is frequent, so packing layers, warm clothing, and waterproofs is essential. Despite the shorter days and cooler weather, there are still plenty of bright spells ideal for walks and exploring the scenery if you want to.

In November, Warner Hotels offer cosy settings, seasonal menus, and restful escapes just as the pace of life begins to slow.

Alvaston Hall in Cheshire is ideal for scenic winter walks, with award-winning gardens that remain just as glorious in the colder months.

Heythrop Park in the Cotswolds offers the perfect mix of luxury and warmth, with indoor lounges, spa treatments available to book, and exceptional entertainment every night.

Thoresby Hall is a lovely spot for a Nottinghamshire countryside break, blending history and comfort - perfect for quieter days.

Bembridge Coast and Norton Grange on the Isle of Wight still offer coastal charm despite the cooler temperature, while The Runnymede on Thames provides riverside views and tranquil winter walks along the Thames.

That said, all of our hotels and villages make for a great stay in November.

Absolutely - November is packed with sensational entertainment, exclusive events, and all the feel-good energy of a Warner break.

Our sold-out BBC History Weekend Break at Littlecote House takes place in November, and those with tickets are in for a fantastic time. If you missed out, Cricket St. Thomas in is also hosting a BBC History Weekend Break in October, but hurry as rooms are limited. Alternatively you can sign up for emails to be the first to know when more of these breaks are released.

Our Star Breaks bring big names to intimate venues throughout November, with standout acts including Katherine Jenkins OBE, Marti Pellow, Pixie Lott, and The Illegal Eagles. It’s your chance to enjoy unforgettable performances in an up-close-and-personal setting.

CIRQUE: The Greatest Show comes to Nidd Hall and The Runnymede on Thames, combining West End-style showmanship with circus artistry and theatrical magic - a visually stunning experience that never fails to impress.

As we near the end of our 25 in 2025 theatre series, Step into Christmas will be coming to Thoresby Hall to complete the series. It’s been a fantastic year of shows, each one a high-energy celebration of iconic artists and timeless hits.

If dancing is your thing, our Dance Themed Breaks at Gunton Hall bring energy from morning to night. Start the day with dance fit classes, enjoy lessons for all levels across a range of styles, and round things off with a show-stopping evening performance, complete with a live band and a chance to show off your moves.

For something a little different, our Murder Mystery Breaks at Cricket St Thomas and Nidd Hall invite you to step into the role of detective. Over the weekend, you’ll gather clues, question suspects, and unravel a cleverly plotted crime - perfect for those who like a break with a twist.

And for those who love a festival even in winter, our Festival Breaks keep the spirit alive right through November. With live music from the 60s through to the 90s, it’s all the joy of a festival - without the wellies - paired with the comfort, food, and hospitality of a Warner Hotel stay.

So whether you're after iconic live music, theatre-style shows, or something a little different, there’s plenty to look forward to this month.

November usuaully remains cooler and days are generaly shorter, so packing with warmth and comfort in mind is key. Here’s a handy list:

• Warm layers: Long sleeves, knitwear, and a fleece or jumper to keep you warm
• Coat or waterproof jacket: Essential for outdoor walks and unexpected showers
• Comfortable walking shoes or boots: Especially useful for countryside strolls or exploring the grounds
• Scarf, gloves, and a hat: Great for morning walks or coastal breezes - it could get frosty!
• Smart-casual outfits: For dining and nightly evening entertainment
• Umbrella: A compact one can come in handy during autumn showers

You should always pack your swimwear for every break, as all our hotels have an indoor pool and sauna to use at your leisure all year round. Many have spa treatment rooms too, and you can easily book spa treatments on My Warner Stay.

Spa treatments are available at all locations excluding Corton Coastal Village and Norton Grange. Gunton Hall offers packages and treatments to guests staying at Corton Coastal Village. Norton Grange is excluded. Additional supplements apply.
