Friday 22nd December – Mad Friday!
Sleeping Beauty Panto
Come and join us for the magical family-friendly pantomime Sleeping Beauty at Eden Court this Christmas.
When the wicked fairy Carabosse’s evil curse causes the princess to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an enchanted sleep, can anyone rescue her from the magical slumber before it is too late?
Sleeping Beauty will have everything you have come to expect from the Eden Court pantomime with a hilarious comic, an outrageous dame, a delightfully wicked baddie, marvellous musical numbers and tons of slapstick fun.
Get your tickets now for what will be the most spellbinding pantomime in the Highlands this festive season!

Subculture Takeover
Subclub residents are back in Inverness for their last Subculture takeover of the year. Over the last 6 months, they have held a bi-monthly residency at the venue and its been incredible. This one is going to be just as special.
Long-standing Subclub residents Harri & Domenic take over Upstairs on Friday 20th October. Their last two SOLD OUT events in the sweat box have been absolute scenes and of course, this will be no different.
Subculture: After cutting his DJ teeth in the Sub Club and elsewhere around Glasgow during the 80s, Harri teamed up with Slam duo Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle. Together in 1990, they started the infamous Sub Club weekly Saturday, “Atlantis,” where they collectively carved out their own wee piece of clubbing notoriety over the following four years.
The departure of Slam from the club in 1994 saw Harri join forces with one of Glasgow’s most talented young DJs, Domenic Cappello. Together they created Subculture, the Sub’s flagship weekly Saturday night.
Just shy of 20 years on, Subculture, with Harri and Domenic still at the helm, is the longest-running weekly House night in the U.K. and possibly worldwide. Subculture has hosted the cream of international House DJs and has a reputation as one of the best and most credible House nights in the world. Subculture has thrived where so many house clubs have flagged because the night has always embraced and sought out the most innovative and culturally relevant electronic music – regardless of fickle fashions or commercial pressures.

The Muppet Christmas Carol
Brian Henson directs his late father’s creations in the Charles Dickens classic, the best-known Christmas story of all time.
Michael Caine plays the old miser Scrooge with Kermit as his long-suffering but ever-hopeful employee Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Cratchit’s wife, and a host of Muppets (including the Great Gonzo as an unlikely Charles Dickens) taking other primary roles in this bright, playful adaptation of the sombre tale.
Or at least it starts brightly enough – the anarchic humour soon settles into mirthful memories and a sense of melancholy as the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future take Scrooge on a journey of his lonely, wasted life.
Michael Caine makes a wonderful Scrooge, delightfully rediscovering the meaning of life as fantastic creations from Henson’s Creature Shop (developed specially for this film) take the reins as the three ghosts.
