Kilsyth to hold winter festival

The event is being organised by the Kilsyth and Villages Community Forum and will take place on Saturday, November 27, in Kilsyth town centre.

Catherine Martin, chairperson of the forum, said: "This year we're going to bring Christmas to Kilsyth.

"It'll be great to get all of the community groups working together and I'm sure we'll make it a Christmas to remember for the town."

A number of activities will take place on Main Street with marquees set-up to ensure the Christmas spirit is not dampened, no matter the weather.The White House will also be open.

There will be arts and crafts, story telling and singing before a candle light procession down Main Street and over to Burngreen Park.

A carol concert will then take place at the bandstand and the Old Library will be open, with mulled wine, mince pies and other festive goodies being served.

The forum is also hoping to create a small market area with local community groups manning the stalls.

Any community groups interested in getting involved in the festive celebrations should contact Catherine Martin on 01236 823252 for more information and details.
