Christmas comes to Chapelton: Join us for the festive light switch-on!

The most wonderful time of the year is almost here, and Chapelton is ready to bring in the festivities with style! Taking place on Friday 29th November from 5:30pm at Hume Square, the Chapelton Community Association and local businesses invite you to join this year’s festive light switch-on…

Set to be an evening of festive celebrations, the Newtonhill School Choir and Sweet Adelines will be providing some evening entertainment, alongside the traditional sounds of a Scottish piper, adding to the magic of the Chapelton light switch-on 2024. 

But that’s not all! This Friday evening has even more festive fun on offer, from delicious food to exclusive events and stalls, keep reading to discover what we have in store…

What’s on?

This year’s festivities will kick off at 5:30pm with Santa’s Grotto opening its doors for the little ones eager to meet the man himself. At 6:30pm, the Newtonhill School Choir and Sweet Adelines will take centre stage, followed by a singalong with Santa at Hume Square, where we will be introducing a very special guest! 

From there, Chapelton residents and visitors are invited to explore all of the festive activities on offer at The Boxes and Brio, from Christmassy stalls to delicious treats, before the Sweet Adelines close off the night with a very merry performance.

If you’re feeling peckish…

Whether you’re after a warming drink, a savoury bite or a sweet treat, Chapelton has something for everyone to enjoy as you soak up the festivities!  

A favourite among residents and visitors alike, Brae will be serving up a delightful selection of hot drinks, tasty food and delicious desserts to keep you cosy throughout the night. For those looking for something with a festive feel, Devenick Drinks Co. will be offering their signature craft drinks alongside seasonal specials, such as mulled wine and hot apple with rum. 

If you’re craving something savoury, Fired Up Pizzas will be serving up mouth-watering hot and fresh pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven using local and Italian produce. Or, for more classic comfort food, the fish and chip van will also be on hand with this family favourite. 

For a healthy and refreshing (and equally as delicious) treat,  The Juicing Co. will also be open, offering organic matcha lattes, chaga charged superfood lattes, raw chocolate brownies and more. Alongside this, The Juicing Co. have a range of fantastic Christmas gift ideas on offer, ranging from vegan and gluten free chocolate, Kombucha drinks and gift vouchers!
