Aberdeen Arts Centre is launching its first ever Christmas Fayre, offering Aberdonians the chance to browse local crafts while supporting the venue's future.
The event will showcase work from local artists, makers and producers selling handmade items perfect for Christmas gifting. The centre's Café Bar will serve mulled wine, hot drinks and snacks throughout the evening.
All proceeds go towards the Save Aberdeen Arts Centre campaign. The independent venue, operated by charity Castlegate Arts Ltd, is working to raise £660,000 over three years to secure its future. So far, the campaign has raised over £132,000.
