A new food and drink festival is set to launch in the Granite City.

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

The ten-day festival 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.

Adrian Gomes of bar hire company 10 Dollar Shake said: "We're looking forward to playing our part during Inspired Nights, which will give all the bars and restaurants in the city centre a platform to show off their creativity and passion.

"They provide a substantial contribution to the local economy and it's great that Aberdeen Inspired is supporting this great initiative."
