The official switch on of the Christmas lights in Wemyss Bay will take place this week.

All the fun begins at 7pm on Friday, December 1 at Wemyss Bay Community Centre.

The school choir will be singing before the countdown begins to the Christmas tree lights being switched on

After the lights are switched on, inside the centre there will be Santa's Grotto, mulled wine, mince pies, hotdogs and a children's entertainer. 

Santa's Grotto will be open from 6.30-7pm for families with additional support needs, when it will be quieter, with more time and low sensory lighting. Please be respectful during this time.

The tree lighting spectacle is a fun family event brought to you by Wemyss Bay Community Association and Inverclyde Council.
