A new Christmas event is being held in Dundee this year – and we have all you need to know about the 2024 celebrations.
Dundee’s Christmas is being organised by NL Productions – which has previously been involved in events like the Enchanted Forest in Perthshire, Edinburgh Zoo Christmas Nights and the capital’s Castle of Light.
It comes after a chaotic festive offering last year when Winterfest failed to go ahead as planned.
Here are all the key details about Dundee’s Christmas.
Where is the Dundee Christmas village being held?
Dundee’s Christmas is being held at City Square.
Previously, festive events have been held both here and at Slessor Gardens.

Dundee’s Christmas is running from November 21 until January 5.
The event will be shut on Christmas Day.

- Monday to Wednesday: noon-8pm
- Thursday and Friday: noon-10pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 10am-10pm
During the school holidays (December 23 to January 5) the event will be open from 10am to 10pm every day.
What attractions will be on offer?
Attractions include:
- 10 market stalls

- A village illuminated with lighting and effects
Costs at Dundee’s Christmas 2024
Dundee’s Christmas is free to attend and you do not need to book tickets, however, some of the attractions have individual costs.
Children’s tickets for the Santa Claus experience are priced at £16.50 (standard times) and £17.50 (peak times), plus booking fee, with additional adults costing £5 plus booking fee.
Meanwhile, tickets for Dundee’s Christmas ice rink come in at £8 (off-peak), £9 (standard) and £10 (peak), with costs the same for adults and children.
Funfair tokens can be bought on the day, with food and drink prices being revealed at a later date.
The event is cashless with only card payments accepted.
