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.

Braemar has a weekend of fashion in November, as the Festival of Fashion returns to The Fife Arms. The festival brings international talent and leading voices from the fashion industry together with young students from Scotland and beyond, for talks and performances spread across the village. You'll find them at The Fife Arms itself, at St Margaret's and at Braemar Village Hall, so it's an easy one to wander between. The festival runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, and tickets are sold through The Fife Arms, where the full programme and this year's speakers are listed.

Blue Rose Code is the band of Scottish singer-songwriter Ross Wilson, whose music mixes Scots folk with soul, and on 4 November it plays Saint Luke's in Glasgow.

The V&A holds Bowie's own archive – eighty thousand items of costume, lyric sheets, instruments, photographs and notes – and this is the first big showing of it in Scotland.
