What's on in your city this weekend

Summer is still on and Nottingham’s own are doing it for themselves too - it’s all about British entrepreneurship at Smithy Row this weekend. The rugby season is warming up too. Wherever you are pick a side and get behind a side in the Scotland vs Italy game this Saturday. 

Up North, in Aberdeen, get ready to rave in Union Terrace Gardens all day Saturday. Gig In The Gardens 2015 is just £15 and it all kicks off at 2pm with Majestic, Darius Syrossian and more taking it right through until 11pm.

In Dundee get creative folk and get involved with the Dundee Commons Festival. Loads of unique, free events have been happening across the city this week, bringing together the Dundonian community. 

Whether you’re a native or a visitor check out Ricochet  - a show by dancers from The Space. It starts under the Tay Road bridge at 11am and moves through the city. On Sunday try walking meditation in The Howff Cemetery at 11am. Find out more here. 

Stellar Scottish humour will amuse, and likely abuse, at Caird Hall - Kevin Bridges arrives on Sunday night, with guests and stays until Thursday, 3rd September.

In Stirling Loop Theatre are hosting the first in a nine week block (running until October) of two hour workshops at Workhouse studio for people with learning disabilities. For fun, creative workshops wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes. It runs until October £72  - sign up here.

The Edinburgh Festival is nearing it’s end and Glasgow Based National Theatre Scotland’s show Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour was given The Stage Edinburgh Festival Fringe Acting Excellence Award. It’s the last show on Saturday - see some of the hottest Scottish talent before it closes here.

In Glasgow those lucky enough to have tickets for Bellahouston Park Paolo Nutini plays With Grace Jones, Dundee’s The View and Tuff Love on Friday, Glasgow’s own Calvin Harris on Saturday as Part of Summer Sessions. If you don’t have and can’t wangle a ticket on Saturday  Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnstone host A Love From Outer Space at SWG3, £9 a ticket. It kicks off at 10:30pm and keeps going right through to 3am.

Further South, in Nottingham, lovely Nottingham Trent Uni alumini ladies Hannah & Georgie and Rhea Clements of Handmade Nottingham host their second event, Summer Market  - a craft and food market with 30 stalls of British made beautiful things. Their first, in July, was hugely enjoyed so check out the goings on at Smithy Row this weekend.
