Trust unveils plans for socially distanced Christmas events in Falkirk

Despite lockdown restrictions impacting across Forth Valley, Falkirk Community Trust is vowing to bring some festive cheer to raise spirits at the end of a tough 2020.

It has unwrapped the first of its plans for Christmas.

Festive afternoon teas at a Christmassy Callendar House get underway from November 27 - last sitting is 2:00pm on Hogmanay - along with a winter exhibition in the Park Gallery at Callendar House.

A selection of festive films chosen by Santa will run through December as the Trust re-opens the Hippodrome Cinema in Bo’ness for the first time since March.

There’s more family fun with a Christmas Trail at Muiravonside Country Park, while there are longer opening hours at the Helix Visitor Centre over Christmas and New Year to allow visitors to warm up with a hot drink and something to eat when out for their winter walk.

The Trust also has a range of festive fitness offers.
