THIS year's eagerly anticipated West Kilbride Yuletide Evening is on Friday, December 6.

The Dance Depot will be performing from 5.30pm in the area to the right of the train station platform in the build up to Santa's parade.

Santa and Mrs Claus will be arriving (via Polar Express) at 5.50pm. The West Kilbride Girl Guides, Brownies, Rainbows and the West Kilbride Boys Brigade will be joining in the festivities.

The Largs BB Pipe Band will lead the Santa Parade at 6pm along the Main Street and Ritchie Street to the Village Hall, and then at the Village Hall at approximately 6.20pm.

A West Kilbride Yuletide spokesperson said: "We will be politely requesting that members of the general public follow behind the Santa Parade at a safe distance to allow us to safely escort them to the Village Hall."
