Halloween weekend: Rossi, Moyet and the Royal Ballet
Big names at Eden Court, witchcraft at the Castle, and a free family history morning at the Archive Centre.
A loaded week ahead, with Alison Moyet and Francis Rossi back-to-back at Eden Court and the Royal Ballet rolling in on Sunday. Halloween lands on the Saturday, so there's plenty for younger ones at the Castle and out at Loch Ness too. Here's what we'd pencil in between 29 Oct and 4 Nov.
Alison Moyet 2026 Tour - Songs of Yazoo, the minutes & Other
Fri 30 Oct, 8:00pm · Eden Court Theatre
Alison Moyet opens the weekend at Eden Court on Friday night, revisiting Yazoo alongside The Minutes and beyond. One of the voices of the era, up close.
Francis Rossi Songbook: Quo – Past, Present, Future
Sat 31 Oct, 8:00pm · Eden Court Theatre
Twenty-four hours later, Francis Rossi takes the same stage with his Songbook show — Status Quo past, present and future, told by the man himself.
Confluence
Fri 30 Oct – Sun 8 Nov · Eden Court Theatre · £6–22
Confluence opens on Friday at Eden Court and runs through to 8 November, with tickets from £6 to £22. Worth catching early in its run.
The Royal Ballet: Manon
Sun 1 Nov, 2:00pm · Eden Court Theatre
The Royal Ballet's Manon beams into Eden Court on Sunday afternoon — a proper matinee event for the ballet-curious as much as the devoted.
Crime, Punishment and Witchcraft
Sat 31 Oct · Inverness Castle Experience
A fittingly dark Halloween turn at the Castle Experience, digging into the Highlands' history of crime, punishment and witch trials.
Cuillin's Garden Trail
Fri 30 Oct · Inverness Castle Experience
A gentler option for families on Friday: Cuillin's Garden Trail at the Castle Experience, good for shorter attention spans.
Monster Mischief
Sat 31 Oct · The Loch Ness Experience
Out at the Loch Ness Experience, Monster Mischief gives smaller visitors something to dress up for on Halloween itself.
Family History Day
Sat 31 Oct, 10:30am · Highland Archive Centre · Free
Free in at the Highland Archive Centre on Saturday morning — bring a name or two and see what the records turn up. Donations welcome.
A warm welcome to three spaces newly on our map: North Kessock Village Hall (IV1 3XS), Carlton Bingo Inverness (IV2 3ED) and Smithton-Culloden Free Church (IV2 7YU).
Have a good one, and we'll see you back here next Thursday.
