Saturday is upon us and the weekend opportunities seem endless. To lie in or to go out? Why not check out our five-a-day while you’re deciding?

Perhaps the most high profile event today is the Britain’s Got Talent auditions, which will take place in the capital for the first time since ITV’s talent show launched in 2007. Judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon will grace the stage of the Festival Theatre to decide the fate of Edinburgh’s wannabes - will they find the next Susan Boyle? But if you’re hoping to show up and find fame, don’t bother, applications have already closed. Visit the Britain’s Got Talent website.

For a more serene way to spend your Saturday, local charity Greener Leith have arranged the Leith Links Children's Orchard volunteer day. Not only will participants be able to help clean up the green space, plant bulbs and learn about tree pruning in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens Edible Gardening project, the first Good Gym will also take place, with personal fitness trainer Tracy Griffen and Leith FM DJ and local blogger Leah Lockhart joining in for a jog.

The sporting theme continues with Hibs v. Aberdeen at Easter Road today. The Edinburgh side, who are sitting second from the bottom of the Scottish Premier League, are hoping to win some points back when they play Aberdeen, who are feeling more comfortable at sixth place. Kick-off at 3pm, with full details on the Scottish Premier League website.

Providing a place or all the young fathers with no interest in Hibs, Dads Rock will hold its first meeting today.
