The West End Coorie is a new ‘festival of Edinburgh’s West End’ bringing together residents, businesses and visitors to ‘coorie in’ together as Christmas approaches.
The Coorie aims to get locals connecting with businesses, and each other, as Christmas approaches. ‘Coorie’ is a Scots word meaning ‘to snuggle and nestle’ so we are encouraging locals to switch off their own lights and coorie in with the shops, bars and restaurants in the West End.
Local businesses are making special offers for residents during Coorie week. Residents (and visitors wanting to be honorary Westenders) will wear special identifying stickers to recognise and meet each other. We will also have events in different locations within the area including music by Shunpike Social Club Streetband, events in St Mary's cathedral, Whighams to name but a few.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
