A Weekend in Gaume, November 2026: Gallic Feasts, Hitchcock on Stage, and a Gala Concert
Three days of warm, singular local events in Gaume and around Arlon — the perfect way to extend the slow-living spirit of your gîte holiday in the Belgian Province of Luxembourg.
There is something tender about early November in Gaume: mist curling over orchards, low autumn light catching stone façades, and a quiet urge to stay put rather than rush elsewhere. Good news — the region delivers a remarkably rich weekend, barely a few kilometres from your front door.
The weekend you won't want to miss
A Gallic evening (with a very local twist)
On Saturday 13 November, the Gallic Evening at the Hall celebrates small-area producers in the spirit of a gourmet stand-off against the supermarket age. You eat, you drink, you meet the people who keep the villages alive. No brochure tells the story of Gaume better than a shared plate. → Gallic Evening at the Hall
Hitchcock's thriller, adapted for the stage
Friday 13 and Saturday 14 at 8:15 pm, a local troupe stages The 39 Steps, the wildly funny play based on Hitchcock's story. Breathless pacing, guaranteed laughter — ideal for a walk-in, car-free evening after a good supper. → The 39 Steps at the theatre
A concert that turns back the clock
On Sunday 14 November, the Royal Philharmonic of Arlon marks its 125th anniversary with Back to 1901, a gala programme evoking the music of a fin-de-siècle Arlon. Rare, grand, and deeply moving. → Royal Philharmonic 125th Anniversary Gala
An afternoon of board games
If you prefer the hush of a fireside afternoon — without leaving Saint-Hubert Forest — the Your Turn to Play! gathering brings together new board games and beloved classics, hosted with genuine warmth. → Afternoon of Games — Your Turn to Play!
Prolong the evening
The real luxury in November is stepping out of the theatre with rosy cheeks, walking ten minutes under the first stars, and finding your room again. Our Gaume gîtes were designed for precisely this gentle return: open hearth, thick duvet, country silence. All that remains is choosing your dates.
