A weekend to remember
After last year's success, Aberdeen Fringe Festival is back to welcome both locals and visitors to the region. However, with shows rapidly filling up, it is important to plan ahead and be ready to see your favourites on the day.
Anyone hungry?
Of course, we can’t forget about the scrumptious, mouth-watering street food options available throughout the course of the event that will no doubt leave you feeling full and happy! From the classics, to the perfect party nibbles, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Shipyard Street Food
With performances located throughout Shiprow Village, why not take up the opportunity to visit Shipyard Street Food. Whether you venture out on their well-loved taco specials, or heat things up with some fiery chicken wings, the best part is you don’t even need to leave your seat. During performances at The Ivy Lodge, Malones and The Old Workshop, visitors have the opportunity to order directly to their location, meaning they don’t have to miss out on a second of fun.
