The West End Coorie is a ‘festival of Edinburgh’s West End’ bringing together residents, businesses and visitors to ‘coorie in’ together as Christmas approaches.
Coorie 900 is part of the city’s 900th anniversary celebrations. ‘Coorie’ is a Scots word meaning ‘to snuggle and nestle’. The event is organised by the West End Community Council alongside the Edinburgh West End Facebook group with its 3000 members who live in the area.
Here’s how it works. During Coorie week, the West End will open its doors to the city to ‘coorie in’ with us, There will be concerts, events, talks, special offers, walks and more which will introduce the West End’s heritage, culture, independent shops and boutiques, restaurants, pubs and cafes. We are building on the first Coorie in 2022, which engaged over 50 business and included more than a dozen events. If you’re a West End business who would like to offer something during Coorie 900, please email westendcoorie@gmail.com.
Look out for the detailed programme launching early October 2024.
