As well as providing people with the chance to socialise and enjoy festive fare, it's an opportunity to see the new-look Kilmardinny for yourself."

Sandy Marshall, Chair of EDLC Trust, said, "Kilmardinny House was rejuvenated by a major programme of works - delivered by East Dunbartonshire Council in conjunction with the Trust - and it's important for the facility's ongoing sustainability and vitality that we cater for a range of uses, from commercial events to arts and cultural bookings."

Kilmardinny House was recently recognised as one of the UK's Civic Buildings of the Year when it was highly commended in the SPACES awards.

Lunches will be served in the garden pavilion extension - which provides a modern, flexible space able to accommodate a range of activities, including performances, exhibitions, conferences and weddings.

The main house - located in Kilmardinny Avenue, Bearsden - offers a range of rooms and studios for use by local arts and community groups, as well as individuals, companies and organisations.
