Thousands of people turn out for this popular event – note the changed time this year – and the team members said they were delighted to be taking part as the town launches its festive celebrations.

Looking ahead to 2020, on Saturday, February 22 when Falkirk play host to Montrose, they partners will run Beat the Blues with the Bairns. They will encourage fans attending the game to visit the town centre both pre and post-match to take advantage of offers that businesses will be offering on the day.

Falkirk Delivers will also be supporting a number of adverts within the match programmes, informing everyone of what’s on offer within the town centre.

Also planned for Saturday, March 21 is Tickets for the Town match day event.
