Burns Afternoon

Celebrate Scotland’s national Bard by going along to an afternoon dedicated to Robert Burns.  The event at Ballater’s Victoria & Albert Memorial
Hall on  Station Square on Sunday will see an afternoon of food and
entertainment, including the traditional Burns fare of haggis, neeps and tatties.

Those going along are welcome to take their own bottle. Tickets are priced at £15 and the event runs from 2-5pm. For more information go to visitballater.com

Cinders!

Scottish Ballet has broken old traditions with its new production of Cinders!

There’s a new twist to the tale – some nights the role of Cinders will be played by a woman, and on others, Cinders will be a man.

This festive favorite has returned to His Majesty’s Theatre with a new name, fabulous costumes, and a charming storyline. The show started its run on Wednesday and is on until Saturday – when show times are 2.30 and 7.30pm. Go to aberdeenperformingarts.com to book.
