Updated: 17/01/2021, 1:07 pm
The Beach Ballroom is woven into the fabric of the Granite City’s cultural life and history, with a special place in the hearts of generations of Aberdonians.
Since it opened its doors in 1929 it has been a place to enjoy, relax and have fun, from the heyday of ballroom dancing to big name bands including The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Who, as well as countless balls, dinner dances and functions.
Join us as we take a look back at the city’s art deco treasure by the sea.
