The events listed below are coming up in 2012 as part of the Arts and Culture Development programme.

We do all we can to keep these annual events alive with upcoming artists, new acts and fresh talent, always showcasing the best of what our own district has to offer within our line ups.  Every year, we also take our celebrations outdoors at the Halloween Fireworks Display and Christmas Lights Switch On events, when we invite everyone to experience the feel good factor of these very special times of the year.

The Scottish Ceilidh

The Scottish Ceilidh, now a very popular event at the Burnavon Arts and Cultural Centre, is back for 2012 on Wednesday 1st February at 8pm.

Led by husband and wife team Kenneth and Linda McLean, you will get the opportunity to watch and learn Scottish Country and Ceilidh dance routines from the experts and then join in with everyone to give it a go. Simple, fun and a great way to get some exercise on a cold winter evening. Come by yourself, with a partner or a few friends – it does not matter, an enjoyable evening full of live music and dance is guaranteed for all.
