Signature Food Festival
Some of the UK's most celebrated chefs are heading north this November, and you don't need a trip to London to taste their cooking.
Islesburgh Drama Group's November play at Mareel tells the story of the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary, whose skill and courage helped Britain through the Second World War. Katherine Senior's Spitfire Girls opens on New Year's Eve 1959, when two of those women meet again and look back on their friendships and what the war asked of them. It is inspired by true events and runs in the week of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. Mareel is Shetland's cinema and music venue, on the quayside at Hay's Dock in Lerwick, with a café bar inside. Spitfire Girls is on from 10 to 12 November.
