Not every trip needs blue skies. Sometimes the best stays are the ones where the rain gives you an excuse to slow down - a good book, a warm room and nowhere you need to be.

October at The Wi******er Royal is a busy one. Our Wedding Fayre kicks things off on Sunday 11th, followed by an Evening of Jazz with Harriet on Friday 23rd. Then the Fawlty Towers Comedy Weekend takes over on 24th-25th - and we're rounding off the month in style with our Royal Haunting Bottomless Brunch on Halloween.

Our monthly pick for a Hampshire afternoon worth making.

This month: Stockbridge. A Georgian market town on the River Test, around 20 minutes from Wi******er. The Wykeham Gallery is worth the stop - paintings, sculpture, ceramics and glass with a rotating programme. Good independent shops, and Stockbridge Down if you fancy a walk after.

What a day to be in Wi******er. The sun is out, the walled garden is looking its absolute finest and tonight we have the perfect way to end it - Gin & Jazz in the Garden. Live jazz from Harriet Jane, locally distilled gins and an Indian summer evening we don't want to let go of.
