We are planning two events this year. Our 1st being (Coronation / Segdoun Crowning) and a 2nd Event (Christmas Lights/Festival). This is to encourage the full community to come together aiming to increase community well-being and positive mental-health. Our Segdoune Crowing is a historic annual event in Kilwinning that motivates our town on an annual basis to come together. This year we are celebrating the Kings Coronation on the same day encouraging people in the community to join in and have fun. Our Christmas Event this year will be a light switch-on event encouraging the community to come together.
