This year’s Yuletide event in West Kilbride has now been called off due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

West Kilbride Yuletide Group organisers agreed a public event would be unsafe in the current climate and have ceased planning after meeting with NAC

Derek Fairclough said: “We have taken the decision not to plan and invest in any activities that may not be possible to hold. It would be imprudent to spend community money that may be lost.

“We will erect the Christmas lights as usual (with much appreciated financial support from the West Kilbride Community Trust), including the lights at the “Enchanted Garden” in the Boyd Orr Garden. The displays will be on throughout December.”
