My September festivals round-up

Our busiest Aberdeen Festival month is almost upon us and as we countdown to our three festivals of September I’m sharing with you my top tips and things not to miss this year:

 

TechFest, 26 August-25 September 2017

This one comes in two parts! Get hands on with science at TechFest’s activity weekend from 26-27 August 2017 or explore the science behind everyday life from 11-25 September! This programme includes some of the quirkiest events in town including making a 3D selfie, finding out why mathematics might mean we don’t have boyfriends and the horrible history show!

 

My TechFest top tips:

 

True North, 7-10 September 2017

It’s Aberdeen’s largest celebration of the singer songwriter tradition and True North is back with another incredible line-up from 7-10 September 2017. Arab Strap, Dutch Uncles, Public Service Broadcasting and Wild Beast, will all join the line-up with headline ‘Rumours’ concert celebrating the best of Fleetwood Mac. 

 

My True North top tips:

 

NEOS , 9-17 September 2017

Meet 223 artists, makers and designers as they open up their studio doors to the public from 9-17 September 2017. North East Open Studios (NEOS) is one of the biggest open studio events and if you follow the dedicated artist trail map you will pack in plenty!
