What people said
Amazing, had an great time wandering around Dundee, and finding all the new venues, all the bars that we went to were so friendly, plus weather was decent, which totally helps.
My daughter and I had such a lovely time and tried venues and drinks we'd never been to or tried before.
Best night out ever!
Full stars, great idea and well executed.
