Inverurie Beer Festival

Founded off the back of Banchory Beer Festival, Inverurie Beer Festival is a chance to get friends together, enjoy a taste of different refreshments and enjoy some live music. What more could you want?

Where and when?

Don't worry, if you're not a fan of beer... there is tasty gin available!

Breakneck Comedy, Aberdeen AND Rothienorman

Another weekend, another funny...

Breakneck Comedy is back this weekend and it will be in both Aberdeen and Rothienorman! (Double whammy!)

Then there's Breakneck on the road, out at Rothienorman Village Hall.

Check out funnies from Liam Withnail, Patrick Rolink and Scotlands answer to Gok Wan, Chris McArthur Boyd.

Gym Fest at the AECC GE Oil and Gas Arena

A great place to take the kids this weekend!

Around 1500 gymnasts, 300 coaches, and 50 volunteers are travelling from across the UK to take part in this extravaganza.

The festival is getting bigger and better each year so why not come along too, and watch the spectacular performances.

You might be inspired to do your own rolly-pollys!

The Dons take on St Johnstone at Pittodrie

After a great weekend at the weekend, we are buzzing about heading to Hampden for the William Hill Scottish Cup Final.

Head to Pittodrie and watch the Dons this weekend. We won't talk about The Rangers game but we have won 7 out of the last 8 games.

It was 0-0 last time we played the Saints but we are sticking a few dolla on hammering them this time round!

A practice run for the Baker Hughes 10k...

We are now 17 sleeps away from the Baker Hughes 10k run

There are also lots of other events around the North-east that include some form of exercise so we thought we'd help you out with some training ideas.

We'd like to introduce to you, our personal trainer, Ally Barron!

Ally has some great advice on running and training goals here.

Also, here is Ally's top tips for a run.

Happy running!

If you aren't doing it yet and are up for a challenge - you could join our Fit-like and The Furious team and run the Baker Hughes 10k with us!
