About The City Brief Dunfermline
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Dunfermline
Dunfermline hosts a range of events throughout the year, and The City Brief helps you stay informed about what’s happening across the city and its neighbourhoods. Whether you’re in the City Centre, Pittencrieff, Townhill, or any part of Dunfermline, there’s always something to learn about, and we’re here to make sure you don’t miss it. From weekly community events like the parkrun in Pittencrieff Park to monthly gatherings such as the City Artisan Market, Dunfermline’s calendar reflects both its history and what’s happening now. The city’s past, home to Dunfermline Abbey and Palace, a former royal residence and final resting place for Scottish monarchs, continues to influence its events programme. Annual celebrations including the Andrew Carnegie Festival, the Dunfermline Heritage Festival, and the Christmas Market and Lights Switch-On bring people together and honour the city’s past. Seasonal events like the Outwith Festival and the Fife Pilgrim Way offer opportunities to enjoy the arts, culture, and landscape that define the area. The City Brief covers these events and the quieter, regular gatherings that give Dunfermline its rhythm. We track what’s on week by week, so you can plan ahead or discover something new. Our focus is on keeping you informed about local events, whether cultural festivals, community activities, markets, or heritage events, across all neighbourhoods and throughout the seasons. Dunfermline’s neighbourhoods each have their own character and their own events. We believe local residents and visitors benefit from a clear, reliable source for what’s happening in their city. By gathering event information in one place, we help you connect with your community and make the most of what Dunfermline offers. That's what The City Brief does here: we listen to what's on, and we share it with you.
