What’s On In Dundee: The best things to see and do this weekend (Aug 10-12)
We’re fast approaching the twilight of the summer months, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of the next few weeks.
There is still plenty to see and do this weekend from big shows to smaller activities.
You’ll find everything you need to know here.
Moscow State Circus
The Circus comes to town this weekend.
Shows like this, the Chinese Circus and the Ladyboys of Bangkok are always big events in the Dundee calendar.
This time the Moscow State Circus is in town and they’re coming with an exciting show called Hotel Gostinista – the Hotel of Curiosities.
After a successful tour in England, it comes to Riverside to wow Dundee audiences.
You can expect breath-taking feats, astounding acrobatics and hilarious clown acts coupled with a glitzy Art Deco hotel theme.
The circus is a great night out for the whole family and you have plenty of chances to catch performances with two shows per day running until Sunday.
Dates: August 9-12
