From refined dining to quick bites between Skye’s ever‑changing weather, the north of the island offers some of our favourite cafés. All personally tried and loved, these spots — from Birch in Portree to cosy yurts, community hubs and seaside shacks — make exploring from Beachcomber Cottage even sweete

A cheeky, old‑school panto bursting with community spirit, Jack and His Giant Beanstalk at Brick Lane Music Hall blends hearty laughs, impressive costumes, and a warm three‑course dining experience inside its beautifully restored Victorian church home. A joyful, mildly saucy night out led with heart by founder Vincent Hayes and a game, quick‑thinking cast.

Most people will know the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and being familiar with the story helped when watching this semi-staged concert. Featuring the cream of musical theatre, including Kerry Ellis as Marmee and Christine Allado as Jo, the production delivered an emotional, majestic soundtrack. The sisters harmonised beautifully, each shining in powerful solos that showcased their individual talents.

Already Perfect at the King’s Head Theatre is intimate, funny and deeply moving. Exploring faith, family and six years of conversion therapy, it balances emotional honesty with perfectly timed humour — including Bibles dropping from the sky to much laughter. With outstanding performances and glorious vocal harmony, this five-star musical stays with you long after the final note.
