Stay Northside Cottage: 2-Bedroom Luxury Getaway in County Durham

15/09/2026

🍂 **AUTUMN AT STAY NORTHSIDE**

We love this time of year at the cottage.

The evenings get darker, the trees start changing colour, there’s nothing better than a walk followed by a pub lunch… and then suddenly Christmas is everywhere. 😂🎄

So we’ve been having a look at what’s happening around us and put together **10 things to do within roughly 20 miles of Stay Northside before Christmas.**

🎃 **3 Oct – 1 Nov** — Haunted Forest at Raby Castle

🚂 **3–4 Oct** — Shildon Model Railway Exhibition

🎆 **31 Oct** — Kynren Pyromusical

🏰 **From 14 Nov** — Christmas at Raby Castle

🎄 **15 Nov** — Darlington Christmas Lights Switch-On

✨ **From 20 Nov – 3 Jan** — AGLOW at Auckland Palace

🎅 **21 Nov – 24 Dec** — Christmas at Beamish

🎄 **27–29 Nov** — Raby Castle Christmas Market

🚂 **28–29 Nov** — Locomotion Christmas Market

🎁 **4–6 Dec** — Durham Christmas Festival

And the best bit?

You can go out and explore all day… then come back to a quiet little village, the village green outside, the Bay Horse across the green and the fire on.

**That's our kind of autumn.** 🍂

We've got plenty of availability before Christmas, although Christmas itself is already booked.

👉 **Save this post for later** — because you'll definitely forget the dates otherwise! 😂

And tell us…

**Which one would you pick? 🍂🎄**
