Free family activities, live entertainment, Christmas markets and Santa's arrival will help kick-start the festive season in Glenrothes as the Glenrothes Christmas Experience comes to the Kingdom Shopping Centre on Saturday 28 November.
Organised as a community celebration and taking place entirely indoors, the event will bring together local businesses, performers, community groups and volunteers for a full day of festive fun, ensuring families can enjoy the magic of Christmas whatever the Scottish weather has in store.
One of the highlights of the day will be a special Christmas Journey for children, with a range of free festive activities designed to inspire creativity and spread a little seasonal kindness throughout the community.
Young visitors will be able to write their own letter to Santa and post it into his special postbox, create Christmas cards for residents in local care homes, make Christmas tree decorations to take home and collect a festive goodie bag complete with magical reindeer dust and other Christmas surprises.
Importantly, every part of the children's Christmas Journey is completely free to take part in.
Alongside the family activities, visitors can browse Christmas market stalls from 10am, enjoy festive food and drink from cafés and businesses within the Kingdom Shopping Centre and soak up the seasonal atmosphere throughout the day.
A packed programme of live entertainment will begin from midday, featuring pipers, brass music, Irish dancing, drumming, singing and performances from local groups and entertainers.
Throughout the afternoon, K107FM will help provide the soundtrack to the event, keeping the festive atmosphere flowing across the shopping centre with Christmas music, event updates and entertainment as the community comes together to celebrate the start of the festive season.
A special moment in the day's celebrations will see Santa make his grand arrival at 3.40pm, accompanied by the event's pipers, before making his way to the Christmas tree for the official Christmas Tree and Lights Switch-On at 4pm.
The Glenrothes Christmas Experience is being delivered through a partnership involving Kingdom Shopping Centre, Ladies Blethers, Glenrothes Rotary and a wide range of local organisations, businesses and volunteers, all working together to create a welcoming community event for residents and visitors alike.
Organisers are encouraging people from across Glenrothes, Fife and beyond to come along, support local traders and community groups, and enjoy a free day of festive entertainment for all ages.
