November 2022 Events Central Coast

Reading Time: 6 minutes

It’s November. Yes, we are asking ourselves the same thing, how is it already November?

The great thing is though – this November of 2022 on the Central Coast we are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to events. We have a variety of festivals, live events, exhibitions, openings and music to keep us entertained and inspired in November

Now, all we need to do is hope the rain holds off and doesn’t interrupt too many of these fun activities. That being said please ensure you double-check directly with the organisers for all the most up-to-date information and availability for ticketed events.

Shoot the Pooch Christmas Shoots | Saturday 5 + Sunday 6 November | Erina

Why not avoid the lines for a Santa snap this year and lock in a pet portrait with Amanda of Shoot the Pooch Pet Photography. She still has a handful of spots left for this weekend. We reckon 20mins of fun with your pooch capturing their personality in some Christmas images sounds like the best way to spend weekend arvo.
