OUT AND ABOUT
Keep the winter blues at bay by unwinding and (if you can brave the cold!) taking a dip beneath a breathtaking starlit sky. Waresley Park Estate will be marking the start of a new lunar cycle with a sound bath and wild swim at its Lakeside Tipi – all under the light of the full moon. waresleyparkestate.co.uk Or soothe the soul by soaking in a toasty, wood-fired hot tub or reclining in the authentic Finnish saunas at Paus. Set in 13 acres of rewilded meadow, at this much-loved wellness venue you can survey the stars from the tub while sipping a complimentary prosecco, gin or soft drink during an evening session. It’s open throughout the winter, which unsurprisingly is a popular season. It’s the ideal mood booster. paus.life Winter wellness

Art after dark
An exhibition that seems custom-made for this season of battening down the hatches and hibernation, The Sleepers at Murray Edwards College gathers works exploring rest and its potential for reflection and resistance, created by 12 female artists. The exhibition navigates sleep’s importance to health, the world of dreaming and who is allowed or denied rest. From paintings to print and textiles, the collection also features a collaborative quilt. Don’t skip the curator’s tour on 6 November at 5pm, in which Laura Moseley will shed light on the connective tissue between separate works and individual stories behind the art. murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk From 29 November – open until 6pm, six days a week – Modo Gallery will host a special exhibition championing the work of young creatives, End Bossiness Soon . The local initiative makes the case for art’s importance in education, society and the economy. mrandmrsclarks.co.uk
There are few better ways to while away the twilight hours than by immersing yourself in music.
