Sydney Open
With its fabulous harbour and gorgeous beaches it is easy to miss or forget that Sydney as some special buildings worthy of closer attention. The Sydney Open is one of the top things to do in Sydney in November because the Open encourages you to step inside and admire the decor. Sydney’s top architectural structures have had a dust down and the doors are open. Roll-up and come inside and discover the finery that resides.

Sculpture by the Sea – Bondi Beach
I always seem to write the same things about Sculpture by the Sea. Stuff like, go, you must go, don’t miss this etc. It is just one of those events that just works so well year after year. If there is one criticism, it is that they could do more for families, maybe a kids sculpture section might go down well (note that one down, you heard it here first).

Double Bay Festival
They are saying it’s going to big, it could double in size! Sunday the 4th November will be full of large rides for the big kids and small rids for the little ones, bouncy castles, ponies, puppets the whole bit.
If you want prestige cars, there will be prestige cars, If you want camels, there will be camels, If you want a million dollars in cash, there will be nothing like that but you’ll feel a million dollars if you go to this “brilliant day out in Sydney’s bay-side village”.

Glebe Markets
The Glebe markets take place just about every Saturday. The markets are renown for there vintage clothing, local fashion, hand-made jewellery, local crafts and second hand treasures from around the globe. November is a great time to visit with Christmas just weeks away. If shopping is not your thing just go for the friendly vibe, live music and yummy fresh food.
