Immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit and bring your family and friends along to enjoy this unique opportunity to witness the story of the birth of Jesus come to life. As we walk through the village, we'll encounter familiar characters as they tell us about their experience of that first Christmas.

We'll finish the walk at St Mungo's Church building, Ladycroft, where we'll have hot chocolate.

This event promises to be a memorable experience for all ages, but we think it is particularly suitable for those in upper Pre-school and Primary school.

Don't miss out on this special occasion to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Mark your calendars, gather your loved ones, and join us for the Balerno Nativity Walk. We can't wait to share this journey with you!
