A new food and drink festival has been announced for the Granite City.

The Inspired Nights Festival aims to reignite Aberdeen's nightlife, following the success of Aberdeen Restaurant Week.

The festival, taking place from May 18 to May 27, will highlight the best food and drink the city has to offer.

Festival-goers will explore the city's bars, restaurants and nightclubs to enjoy an exclusive Inspired Nights signature drink list, which will include discounts on mocktails and soft drinks.

They will also have VIP access to masterclasses, tastings and talks, as well as the chance to discover Nuart Aberdeen after dark, browse night street food markets on The Green and attend pop-up events.

Evening and night time economy manager for Aberdeen Inspired, Nicola Marie Johnston, said: "Aberdeen Restaurant Week was very successful earlier this year and we want to build on this and create a vibrant night time economy which showcases everything Aberdeen city centre has to offer."
