Aberdeen bars and nightclubs have announced prices for their May Day tickets as they prepare for one of the city centre’s busiest days of the year.

This year, May Day (May 1) falls on a Thursday, meaning many will celebrate on Sunday, May 4.

DJ events and all-day parties starting as early as 12pm will take place at venues across the Granite City.

The lure of a bank holiday Monday makes a Sunday session all the more appealing for students and those who have the day off.
