Popular with audiences of all ages, Disney On Ice brings its new show, Dream Big, to P&J Live in Aberdeen across the weekend.

Mickey and Minnie will be joined by other popular characters such as Moana, Elsa and Belle to bring the magic and adventure of Disney’s tales to life through world-class figure skating.

Cinderella and Rapunzel are just a few of the other classic characters that will appear in what promises to be an action-packed show.

Hot off the heels of a sold-out anniversary show at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, Trail West hit the road north and return to Inverness’ famous Ironworks this Saturday for a lively show.

All band members hail from the Hebridean Isles of Tiree and South Uist. The music and culture they were raised on remains a pure and refreshing trademark of the sound of Trail West.

Support on the night comes from The Cast Ewe Ceilidh Band.

Watch a new streaming series

If you’re keen to move no further than your sofa this weekend, streaming series leave you spoilt for choice with things to watch.

Am I Being Unreasonable? by Daisy May-Cooper is a gripping dark comedy available on BBC iPlayer that is well worth watching for its cleverly crafted twists and turns.

Music fans should search for The Playlist on Netflix, a new mini-series around the story of Spotify, while The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, also on Netflix, makes for a spooky biographical crime drama.
