Falkirk Council’s leisure and culture team have been busy ensuring that there are lots for everyone to do, whatever your interests.

For years Callendar House has been a focal point for Christmas with the house beautifully decorated and the giant tree sitting in the reception area. The gift shop also offers a wide range of gifts, including original artworks and crafts. On selected dates, there will also be carol singing, live music and the costumed interpreter in the Georgian kitchen will be sharing details of how festive feasts were delivered in years gone by.

And the delicious festive afternoon teas are now on sale until the end of December. From only £18.95 with prosecco, gin and children’s options available. But don’t delay in booking as spaces are limited.

Throughout December the award-winning Helix Park and visitor will be open as usual. And the centre will be offering cosy Christmas reads and a selection of tasty winter warmers to keep the cold away. There will also be a treasure hunt and free midweek parking. And watch out for a big January offer ...

For the last time Falkirk Town Hall Theatre will bring panto to the town with the production of Sleeping Beauty. It will have everything we all love about a pantomime with a hilarious comic, outrageous dame, wicked baddie, musical numbers and tons of slapstick fun. Running from December 9 to 30, tickets start at £12.95.
