Falkirk Council Events Team named Scotland’s best

Falkirk Council’s Events Team has been named Best Public Sector Team at the 2025 Scottish Event Awards (24 April), a major recognition of their outstanding work and community impact.

The accolade comes after a landmark year that included the 10th anniversary celebration of The Kelpies at Helix Park. The event featured top Scottish talent, a fire show by Pyroceltica, and drew thousands of visitors to Falkirk. 

The team was also shortlisted for Best Public Sector Event and Rising Star, the latter acknowledging event supervisor Katie Craigen who received a highly commended award for her contributions, including accessible sessions at the Science Festival and organising large-scale events like the 2024 fireworks at Callendar Park. 

Falkirk Council Leader, Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn said: “This award reflects the incredible commitment of our Events Team to delivering inclusive, high-quality events for our communites and beyond. 

“From marking the 10th anniversary of The Kelpies with a spectacular celebration that showcased the best of Scottish culture, to ensuring accessibility and innovation across festivals and large-scale gatherings, the team continues to put Falkirk on the map as a premier events destination.  

“Being recognised at the Scottish Event Awards is a testament to their passion, professionalism, and the positive impact they have on both residents and visitors alike.”
