About The City Brief Livingston
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Livingston
Livingston has changed a lot over the past six decades as a new town, growing from its mining origins into a planned, modern community with unique neighbourhoods, each with its own feel. The City Brief helps people in Livingston stay up-to-date on local events, from festivals to community gatherings, cultural events, and neighbourhood celebrations. We cover events throughout Livingston’s communities. You can find activities in areas like Eliburn, with its green spaces and community spirit, and Livingston Village, where historical roots meet modern business. We share what’s happening at key locations like the Almond Valley Heritage Centre and other local landmarks, so you know about opportunities to get involved and explore the town. Livingston’s event calendar reflects its character: the annual Livingstone Festival of Adventure, West Lothian Festival of Arts, Livingston Food Festival and cultural parades are examples. River FM broadcasts from Almondvale Stadium keep local voices on the air, and monthly initiatives encourage residents to rediscover their surroundings. These events aren’t isolated incidents, they’re part of everyday life. We believe people should easily know what’s happening in their town. Whether you live in one neighbourhood or explore several, The City Brief provides a clear overview of the week ahead. We cover festivals, markets, performances, community events, and gatherings that bring Livingston to life. Our aim is to connect you with local activities, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, week by week, so you can make the most of your time.
