Your Weekend Starts here

FUN EVENTS

The final weekend of January is bringing a host of fun events to the Highlands, Aberdeen and beyond. The new food hall in the Victorian Market in Inverness is filling up, with lots of local food and drink options to enjoy. If that’s not your thing, why not settle down and enjoy an Oscar nominated movie from the comfort of your sofa? If you fancy putting on your detective shoes, you might want to head for Crathes Castle.

INVERNESS VICTORIAN MARKET

Whether you’re in the mood for tasty bakes, huge toasties or even fresh sushi, you’ll want to make your way to the food hall in Inverness Victorian Market.

Local favourites Bad Girl Bakery and Salt & Fire are ready to tickle your tastebuds, with seafood trailer The Redshank also cooking up a storm in the pop-up spot this weekend.

There are new vendors appearing in the market all the time, so keep an eye out and be ready to welcome in a new

favourite.

VINTAGE KILO SALE

The Vintage Kilo Sale is returning to Aberdeen Douglas Hotel on Market Street on Sunday. Shoppers can rummage through rails of sustainable, vintage, retro and branded fashion and bag themselves a bargain.

Upon arrival at the till, their hauls will be weighed and they will be charged just £20 per kilo. Prices will drop to £15 from 3pm.

The event takes place between 10.30am and 4pm and tickets can be bought at fatsoma.com.

OSCAR NOMINATED FILM

This year’s Oscar nominees were announced earlier this week, but instead of waiting until the ceremony on March 12 to find out the winners, why not decide yourself ?

You will find most of the nominated films on streaming services - including those that raked in nominations in a number of categories. Everything Everywhere All at Once is nominated in 11 categories and is available on Amazon Prime.

All Quiet on the Western Front - an adaptation of the 1928 novel by Erich Maria Remarque - is available on Netflix and is up for nine awards.

INVERNESS WOMEN’S GROUP

Scottish Women’s Institute (SWI) is launching Inverness Women’s Group at an event in The Beaufort Hotel on Sunday at 2pm.

SWI has many groups across the country with the intention of bringing women together to have fun, make friends, learn new skills and support one another. The group is open to women of all ages and will meet once a month, hosting a range of activities that suit all members. The event is free, but you can reserve your spot at eventbrite.co.uk.

THE KILTED KILLING

It’s the night before the wedding of

Laird Hamish Strathsporran and

Tiffany Banks.

As secrets are revealed, things quickly turn sour. Will Tiffany make it down the aisle? Will this wedding be the death of her?

Head to Crathes Castle on Saturday night to find out as Right Here Productions hosts its murder mystery The Kilted Killing. Tickets for the event are £28 each and can be purchased at eventbrite. co.uk.
