Lots of amazing things happening over the Easter weekend so we thought we'd stick it all in a list for you! Happy Easter, love from Jeff and Lauren x
Nuart Aberdeen
This campaign was developed in collaboration with Aberdeen Inspired and Aberdeen City Council and provides a platform for local, national and international artists to showcase their work through a series of site-specific murals, installations, interventions, and temporary exhibitions.
They've already started to decorate the city with some fantastic art so head down and check it out if you can this weekend.
There will be loads of events across the weekend...including an Easter Sunday art hunt!
All you need to know right here.
Also, all of our favourite pictures so far right here!
Hop down to the Bon-Accord Centre
Your mission is to find 12 giant Easter eggs that will be hidden around the centre before the Easter bunny does.
Don't worry, we heard the Easter bunny can't hop very fast so you're in with a good chance!
There will be a chance to take a selfie with a glittery egg and upload it here for your chance to win £££'s in Bon Accord Centre vouchers.
There will also be an Easter colouring workshop, so that you can decorate your own little easter egg!
That's not the most important part though... We heard that there will be A LOT OF CHOCOLATE!! (Yum!)
The Easter bunny will be there everyday until Sunday from 12pm until 4pm.

North Hop
North Hop was created to raise the awareness and love of craft beer and all the great things that go with it, and put the Highlands firmly on the craft beer map through a series of 'taster' and 'pop up' events and festivals.
"North Hop was born out of a new found love of craft beer, an ongoing love for gin and the passion to bring something new to the people of Inverness and beyond..."
Brought to you by Michelle Russell, owner of Snow Marketing
It has now developed into a whole host of unique and exciting events and festivals across Scotland and it's coming to Aberdeen! THIS WEEKEND!
What can you expect?
There will be two days filled with lots of brewery goodness, gin and spirit filled bars serving up perfect serves and creative cocktails, street food vendors with delicious flavour packed dishes, lots of market traders to take your fancy, and plenty of great music and fun to keep you entertained.
