Don’t miss the Christmas light switch on!

The festive season is right around the corner and Chapelton is gearing up for another sparkling celebration! Taking place on Friday 28th November, Chapelton Community Association would like to invite you to join in officially welcoming Christmas with our annual light switch-on event.

With delicious food, entertainment and late-night shopping, this is an event you won’t want to miss!

Here’s what’s in store…

Meet Santa at 5:30pm

The festivities kick off at 5:30pm with Santa’s Grotto at The Hut, where little ones can meet the man himself. Tickets are just £2 per child which can be purchased on the day – cash is preferred, though a QR payment will also be available.

Look out for Chapelton’s first Christmas tree

You may have already spotted it while passing through Chapelton, but we’re tree-mendously excited to announce that we officially have a Christmas tree for the first time this year! Our 14ft fir is standing tall in Hume Square and will be all lit up this Friday!

Lights on at 6:15pm

The Chapelton Community Association has been working hard to make this year’s lights bigger and brighter than ever. As tradition goes, this year’s Chapelton Community Hero, Karine Butler, will join Santa to officially switch on the lights at 6:15pm in Hume Square.

Afterwards, the crowds will follow the sound of the pipers up to Landale Court, where the lights at Brio will also be switched on, ensuring everyone in Chapelton can be part of the celebration.

Christmas carols and late night shopping

We’re delighted that the Newtonhill P7 Choir will be performing some Christmas carols, giving everyone the chance to enjoy some music while catching up with friends and neighbours.

The Boxes will also be open late for anyone wishing to get a head start on their Christmas shopping, including Red Rocks and Skin & Co.

Food and drinks available

A variety of food trucks will be serving up delicious treats, including Quayside Gourdon, Aberdeen Angus Food Truck and Donuts & Crepes.

Brio will also be serving hot food, tea and coffee so you can enjoy the festivities from the warmth indoors.

For the adults, The Gatehouse Taproom will be serving mulled wine and cider and hosting the after-party.

We look forward to seeing the whole community out and about, enjoying a night full of sparkle, music, food and festive fun.

Wrap up warm, bring the family and join the Chapelton Community Association for a magical evening!
