Home · Events in Inverness This Week

You can find a good mix of events in Inverness this week, with a focus on performance across the city. If you're planning something to do, the coming days offer plenty of options. Comedy shows are scheduled at several venues, check the listings for showtimes and locations. There’s also a chance to explore local history through talks at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, which look at the region’s past, including the Highland Pipers Society’s role from Alba to Arabia. For a lively night out, live music sessions are happening in bars and pubs. A walk along the River Ness takes you through the city’s heart, and there’s a chance of spontaneous music in local spots. If you’re driving, the A9 and A96 are key routes. Be aware that parking near Eden Court Theatre and Bught Park is limited. Seating at Highlander can fill up quickly during peak hours. Consider public transport, especially with congestion on Academy Street due to bus station access. The Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway and Far North Line connect the city to wider networks. Check the listings below for times and venues.
