The sequel
Last year, we launched our new performance series KUNSTY, showcasing our favourite ground-breaking artists who brought us the rad, the queer and the uncategorisable.
Next month, KUNSTY comes back for round two – scroll down to see whose starring in this year's line-up.
KUNSTY

Love cabaret, comedy and performance? These artists are pushing the boundaries of what performances can be, and they are about to take over our stages for KUNSTY.
IT’S GOT LEGS!!!!!!!
WED 4 NOV
Embrace the ugliness and chaotic beauty of how we make and unmake our identities in a visceral, vulgar and vampy ‘cabaret’ from Samir Kennedy and Sean Murray.
Kim Noble: How to Write
THU 5 NOV
Learn to write your own book, or at least how to draft an email, at the comedic artist’s witty lecture celebrating his new book – with advice from the greats and also his mum.
NOW NOT NOW
THU 5 & FRI 6 NOV
A darkly funny, disorienting dive into the peculiar ways we experience time, as two performers and their uncanny video doubles spiral through a strange morning – from Cade & MacAskill with Yas Clarke & Tim Spooner.
This is a Relaxed Performance and Captioned
Fag Packet: DYKE Systems Ltd
FRI 6 NOV
Blending comedy and physical theatre, this equal parts corporate seminar and queer fever dream explores how the forces of greed and conformity threaten us in a capitalist nightmare that’s coming for us all.

Come away for the feeling
A few days away can feel like so much more when there’s somewhere new to explore, somewhere memorable to stay and time to simply enjoy being there.
There’s something about autumn in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Come for the stories, the crisp mornings, the adventure, the golden leaves, the culture, the big skies and the fresh coastal air.
This November, take time to explore, experience and enjoy the North-east, from ancient castles and historic streets to outdoor adventures, cultural events and somewhere cosy to stay.
Image: Drumtochty Castle by Kim Paul
Fancy your own castle escape?
If The Traitors has you dreaming of dramatic castle stays, mysterious surroundings and a little bit of intrigue, you don’t have to go far.
While you can’t stay in the castle from the show, there are plenty of historic castles across Aberdeenshire waiting to be explored – and you can even stay in some of them!
Image: The Brig o' Balgownie
Discover history around every corner
From castles and country estates to historic streets and sites, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are full of places to explore and stories to uncover.
Wander through historic Aberdeen, visit a castle with centuries of history behind it, or head into the countryside to discover the traces left by those who came before.
Image: Walking Ben Macdui to Loch Etchachan
Adventure awaits
Swap the castle walls for wide-open landscapes, follow coastal paths, take on a guided hike or get out on two wheels and head into the countryside and see where the day takes you.
Image: Winter, Wonder, Wander
Make time for culture
November brings plenty to see and do across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, from craft fairs and live music to theatre performances and seasonal events.
From 3-10 November, the David Welch Winter Gardens will transform into Winter, Wonder, Wander, a chance to experience the gardens in a whole new light.

Director's Picks
Durham Book Festival weekend is here (how can this be?!) and once again I'm looking forward to seeing faces old and new in the audience. It's hard to pick which events to highlight here, so I've decided to hone in on some of the brilliant fiction and non-fiction by and about women, including brand-new commissions from Lucy Rose, Romalyn Ante, Naomi Booth and Sarah Hall.
I hope to see you in Durham, but remember that all events at Gala Durham are livestreamed – so you can catch up on anything you've missed until the end of October.
Rebecca Wilkie, Director of Durham Book Festival

 Edith Hall: Medea: A Life Acclaimed classicist Edith Hall's new book restores the humanity of Medea, one of the most recognisable characters from Greek mythology, using meticulous research to illuminate the story of an outsider driven to extremes by betrayal and displacement. |
 Susanna Clarke: The Bishop of Durham Attempts to Surrender the City International bestseller Susanna Clarke presents her brand-new novella in the lore of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, following an epic quest through an otherworldly version of Durham besieged by a fairy host. |

 Gaming and Storytelling with Lucy Rose and Sarah Maria Griffin Lucy Rose (The Lamb) and Sarah Maria Griffin (Strange is the Light) will discuss how they use video games as tools to inspire their writing. Lucy will also present a new commissioned short story, The Rat King. |
 Life Writing with Louise Doughty and Nicola Wilding In their new memoirs, Louise Doughty and Nicola Wilding use letters and photos to understand family members, from the surprising origins of a parental love affair in the 1950s, to an EDL-supporting mother and imprisoned brother. |
 Regency Romance with Sophie Irwin and The History Gossip Sophie Irwin continues Georgette Heyer's bestselling novels with Henrietta, following her heroine's attempts to become this season's diamond. Sophie will be in conversation with social media personality The History Gossip. |
 Sleep Stories: Romalyn Ante, Naomi Booth and Sarah Hall Romalyn Ante, Naomi Booth and Sarah Hall join us to discuss their specially commissioned short stories inspired by the contemporary sleep crisis and the ways environmental factors, motherhood and caregiving can directly affect women's sleep. |
 Clare McGlynn and Natasha Walter in Conversation As women's rights are being rolled back, Clare McGlynn and Natasha Walter discuss how we can turn the tide on the violent sexual content reshaping modern society, and build supportive and hopeful communities for women. |
