Santa Dash is a great festive day out for all the family in Aberdeen We're stepping into Christmas this weekend with a host of family fun activities around the city to get you and your brood in the festive spirit. This year, the city has gone out of its way to host a fantastic array of adventures for elves young and old to take part in. Starting off with this mad Christmas dash... Ready. Set. Ho, ho, ho! There's a sea of red flowing through Pittodrie Stadium today with the great Santa fun run. Don a Santa suit and join a parade of red and white bobble hats as you dash along the city's beautiful beach front on this merry run to raise funds for the WildHearts charity. Everyone can go at their own pace, so grab your granny and even the buggy for this jolly jaunt. Meet Robin Hood and Babes in the Wood at the Tivoli Theatre Two fairytales become one in the first pantomime to be shown at the Tivoli theatre in over 50 years. If you're in the mood for a little bit of merry men naughtiness, then this is the show for you, with live music, singing, dancing, slapstick and lots and lots of audience participation. Experience the magic of Christmas at Drum Castle Spend the afternoon kicking up leaves in the beautiful grounds of Drum Castle where the '12 days of Christmas' activity trail will have you racing around the gardens. Children can go in search of Santa's secret workshop and whisper their wishes to the Christmas Tree Fairy before she lights up the Giant Christmas Holly Wreath at 2pm. But most importantly for you, there's an an indoor market with Christmas gifts and uniquely hand-crafted wreaths from the holly on the estate. You can pick up some extra special Christmas presents while having a fun day out - a perfect Christmas combo. Remember to share your advent-tures this weekend with us @STVAberdeen
