Christmas in City Square

This festive season, Dundee’s city centre will come alive as they transform into a bustling Christmas destination filled with holiday cheer.

After admiring the giant Christmas tree in City Square, wander past the stalls and alpine bar towards our special UNESCO City of Design Christmas Glade. Here you’ll find a stunning collection of beautifully designed trees alongside the city’s sustainable planted tree – all set against the dramatic backdrop of Scotland’s oldest medieval steeple, creating a picture-perfect festive scene.
