Being located in Aberdeen city centre means that when you visit Spectra you are surrounded by great places to eat and drink. Spectra doesn’t just provide a festival filled to the brim with fantastic art for residents and visitors, it also supports the city’s diverse range of businesses across the centre and ensures they get a much needed boost at a time which may normally be a bit quieter for them.
To support this local cafes, restaurants, bars and hotels have put on Spectra Specials and you’ll be able to enjoy special menus and even a Spectra Doughnut!
Check out below to see some of the SPECTRAtacular deals on offer at local businesses in Aberdeen!
