North east charities, community groups and people with additional support needs enjoyed a free trip to the Broad Street Christmas village on Tuesday.

Arranged by Aberdeen Inspired, guests went on the rides, had a session on the ice and were given free drinks and snacks at a disco put on in one of the marquees.

Among the attendees were groups from Sue Ryder, Maggie's Centre, Aberdeen Foyer, Penumbra and several schools.

Chief executive of Aberdeen Inspired Adrian Watson said: "We're very proud to host the Community Festive Fun Day at Aberdeen Christmas Village and it's great to be able to give something back to such fantastic causes in the city and beyond."
