Warm up Wisely
Besides being fun, second-hand shopping reduces consumerism and inspires us to recycle. Thus, you have a lot of reasons to visit the Gardrob Fair, a giant community garage sale which takes place on Saturdays throughout November very close to Deák Ferenc square.
Where: passageway at Kiraly utca 8
When: November 22 and 29, 11.00 -17.00

Stir Your Soul
Several days ago I wanted to buy tickets for Mamma Mia! at the Madach Theatre and found out that they translated all the ABBA's songs into Hungarian. Fortunately, the Contemporary Drama Festival is approaching, and there will be a chance to enjoy modern Hungarian theatre performances with English subtitles.
Where: several theatres; note that each of them sells tickets separately.
When: November 28 - December 7
