Largo House, East Fife, Scotland
December brings its usual crop of special events. Christmas is the time when people pull out all the stops (Nice Christmas Carol Organ Music phrase) and have a blast. Christmas markets, Panto, and meeting Santa are must do activities in the run up to Christmas. Have fun!
I’ve given a web link in most cases. Please check before you go. As with all exploring, some of our ‘What’s on’ suggestions will be brilliant, some will give you completely new experiences, and others may be a disappointment. I’m putting this list together based on what I think looks interesting.
