**If YOU are organising an event please send details in advance and it can be added here.**
A lot happens in Burntisland, a mixture of annual events, more regular things and one-offs. It’s not possible know about everything.
One of the reasons for this site is that as the Burgh Buzz only appears every three months, it can’t list everything. This site won’t either, but it will try to mention as many events as possible.
The Community Council has a notice board in the High Street (between St. Andrews Court and the vet’s). Local groups can ask to have their posters displayed there. The CC has considered adding a diary page to its site, but has decided against due to the work involved. (All CC members are volunteers).
Various shops (including the Coop) display posters.
