WHAT’S ON: NOVEMBER DON’T PANIC! Lets rip this plaster off as quickly as we can, eh? To all our welcome visitors from overseas: no, York is not at war with the sky, nor do we lack modern heating so have to gather around huge bonfires at night. What you are possibly experiencing (should your visit bring you to our fair city around the 5th November) is Guy Fawkes Night.

Just go with it.

The custom of letting off fireworks and burning effigies of a chap called

Guy is an ancient tradition; one we encourage you to get involved with. As well as pyrotechnics and piles of burning wood, Bonfire Night is a great way to mingle with the locals, eat copious amounts of food, and stand around in a field. If we’re honest, the standing around in a field is the best bit.

However, should you be dropping into our area later in the month, or if you’re as local as one of the Minster’s gargoyles, there are plenty of other fun things happening in November. The Aesthetica Short Film Festival will highlight the best

of “little fancy films”, while Living North’s Christmas Fair will help get you set for the festivities that fast approach.

Yorkshire’s Winter Wonderland has set up shop once again at the Designer Outlet, so you can ice skate, ride, feast, and shop your day away, should you wish. And of course there are many events taking place each and every day of the month, and you now have the details for all of them in your lovely hands.

Enjoy November!

… on the 7th Aesthetica Short Film Festival within The Shambles Forecourt area, just behind The BAFTA-recognised festival returns this month, taking place 8th-12th November across the city.

Transforming York into a cinematic playground, there are 300 films on offer spanning 12 imaginative genres, such as Documentary, Drama and Comedy. There will be other special screenings, including from the Imperial War Museum and Krakow Film Festival. A great chance to discover new films and new filmmakers, the festival will present a huge wealth of different stories, told from many different perspectives.

Local, national, and international films will be screened, and all will be vying for the highly coveted ASFF awards. As well watching the films, you'll be able to hear from those who made them, getting insight into what goes into an acclaimed short film. Also, take part in unique panel discussions with renowned speakers. For more information visit asff.co.uk

The Yorkshire Yuletide Village is hosted by Made in Yorkshire, who, since 1999, have given local artists an opportunity to showcase their talent. If you are looking for special gifts this Christmas, that are handmade and of the highest quality, you should pop along to the lodge. Oh, and once you've shopped until you've literally dropped, you can relax with some festive refreshments in the Made in Yorkshire cafe. Visit madeinyorkshire.org.uk
