WE’RE LOOKING FOR DONATIONS TOWARDS A MARQUEE!

Our aim is to organise a festive community gathering where residents can come together, enjoy the Christmas spirit, make memories and celebrate everything that makes Whitecraig such a special place to live ✨️

To help make this happen, we’re looking to hire a marquee, with the estimated cost being £500.

A marquee would give us a sheltered space for activities and entertainment, helping us bring people together whatever the Scottish winter weather decides to do ☔️❄️

If you’d like to contribute towards the marquee target, here are our bank details:

PROPOSED WHITECRAIG GALA CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISER ✨️

We’re exploring the possibility of bringing some festive fun to Whitecraig this Christmas!

We’re hoping to organise a Whitecraig Gala Christmas Fundraiser in partnership with Whitecraig Christmas Lights on Saturday 5th December 2026 at Whitecraig Playing Field (4PM-8PM)

The idea is to put on a smaller community event than our usual Gala Day in June, bringing the village together for some festive fun while raising funds for Whitecraig Gala. Whitecraig Christmas Lights would also contribute towards some of the event costs.

Some of the ideas we're considering:

🎡 A small funfair
🎅 Santa’s Grotto
🎁 Christmas Stalls
🍔 Food Vans & Refreshments
🎨 Children's Entertainment
🎟️ Raffle, Tombola & other fundraising opportunities

We’ve already had a few stallholders and food vans express an interest in getting involved, which is really encouraging 🥰

📣 BUT FIRST, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Before we can take things any further, we need to know whether we have enough volunteers to make this happen.

The Council have given the go-ahead in principle, pending the event plan, and Enjoy Leisure have confirmed that the playing field and pavilion are available to book. We're now looking at whether we have the people and resources to make it work.

We want to create something special for our wee village, but we also need to make sure it's manageable for the team and affordable to run.

Would you be interested in helping us make this happen?

Whether you could help on the day, assist with activities or contribute financially, we'd love to hear from you.

There’s no pressure or commitment at this stage, we simply need to gauge interest before deciding whether we can go ahead.

📢 FANCY DRESS PARADE - ROUTE & PARKING INFORMATION

We're pleased to confirm that East Lothian Council and Police Scotland have approved this year's Fancy Dress Parade route.

📅 Friday 26th June 2026
⏰ 7:15PM-8PM

PARADE ROUTE

The parade will:
➡️ Start at Whitecraig Playing Field
➡️ Proceed along Whitecraig Road towards Cowpits Avenue
➡️ Turn at the approved turning point
➡️ Return along the opposite side of Whitecraig Road
➡️ Continue around Whitecraig Crescent
➡️ Complete the circuit twice
➡️ Finish at Whitecraig Primary School Playing Field

🚫 Temporary Parking Restrictions

To allow the parade to pass safely, parking will be prohibited on both sides of Whitecraig Crescent for the duration of the event.

We kindly ask residents and visitors to avoid parking within the restricted area during these times to help keep everyone safe and ensure the parade can proceed smoothly.

🚗 Parking Information

The playing field car park will remain accessible for residents and visitors to use.

We will also have stewards available to direct vehicles onto the grass verge area adjacent to the car park, providing additional parking options. If you'd like to park here, please come before the Fancy Dress Competition begins at 6:30PM - as the entrance area will become increasingly busy with participants and spectators arriving on foot.

We'd like to thank East Lothian Council, Police Scotland and local residents for their support and cooperation in helping make this community event possible.

We can't wait to see everyone lining the streets and joining in the fun! 🎉

🎉 Woohoo! It's Whitecraig Gala Day in just 8 sleeps! 🙌

A huge thank you to Sean from City Inspection Services Ltd for putting the flags up this year. It's certainly not an easy job on a busy main road and your help is very much appreciated! 🙏

We battled wind, rain and even a bit of road rage along the way, but the flags are up and Whitecraig is starting to look Gala-ready! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

Now it's over to you! 😁

Let's get the whole village involved by putting your flags, bunting and decorations out. The more colour we can bring to Whitecraig, the better! 🫶

And with Scotland playing tonight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, it's the perfect excuse to get the flags flying and show your village spirit 🎉✨
