The Inverness Weekly · 15 Oct – 21 Oct
Grease, piano fireworks and a beer festival
Your week ahead in Inverness, 15 to 21 October — stage, strings, pints and a home game at the Caledonian.
A busy stretch at Eden Court kicks things off, with plenty beyond the theatre to tempt you out. There's chamber music, late-night club classics, cask ale and league football all within a short walk of the river. Here's what we'd pencil in between 15 and 21 October.
