West End Christmas Week - West End Xmas Factor!

If you click on the headline above or go to http://tinyurl.com/westendxmasfactor, you can download the West End Christmas Week main brochure! It is also available on the West End Community Council website at www.wecc.org.uk.

The ninth West End Christmas Week will be launched at 10am next Saturday (21st November) in Dundee West Church’s Community Facilities (enter at top of Roseangle) where a West End Community Fayre is taking place.

Many local organisations are participating and all residents are invited to attend. Entrance is entirely free of charge and it will be a great way to learn about all the organisations in the West End that are working for our local area.

At 10.30am, the Primary One children of Ancrum Road Primary, Park Place Primary, St Joseph’s Primary and Blackness Primary Schools will take part in a massive balloon launch at Align Centrenearby Seabraes. The balloon launch will be led by local singer Chris Sinclair and the pupil whose balloon travels furthest will win a children’s party for up to 20 friends, courtesy of Barnetts Motor Group!

A week on Tuesday (24th November), this year’s West End Christmas Concert takes place at Dundee West Church at 6pm. All local residents are very welcome to attend.


There will be musical contributions from local primary and secondary schools plus a guest appearance from pupils of Menzieshill High School, and we are also delighted to welcome leading Scottish traditional singer Sheena Wellington. At 7pm, the West End Christmas Lights will be switched on at Seabraes by Lord Provost John Letford, Ken Macleod of Tay AM and Betty Bampot & Penny Pilic from the Downfield Musical Society Panto!

There will be a spectacular fireworks display after the lights switch-on and – for the first time during Christmas Week - Horne’s Carnival will be at Seabraes with rides for children – and adults!
