What is it?

Thistle Street Food Market takes place on the 2nd Saturday of each month, aiming to showcases the finest in the local Aberdeen and north east food and drink scene.

A spokesperson for the market said: "Our goal is to attract people from the city and shire to the West End of Aberdeen, as well as provide a place for local food and drink lovers to discover new and exciting produce that's coming out of our region.

We're expecting it to be our busiest market of the year."

The festive food market runs from 10am-3pm on Saturday 8th December.
