Come along to see our spectacular 2016 Lanimer illuminated winter parade on the 25th November.

Part of the ‘Late Night Lanark’ shopping event – this years parade will be led by our Lanimer Queen Morgan Shillan will include 7 of our Lanimer entrants who will be accompanied with music from the Lanark & District Pipe Band.

Last years event was a great success and the illumintaed lanimer lorries were fantastic! Why not take the oppotunity to support our local shops, a number of whom will have special offers on for the event.

We look forward to seeing you there – please remember to wrap up nice and warm!
