Arts and entertainment - societies and groups

Bathgate Concert Orchestra  

There are more than 120 community arts groups in West Lothian doing everything from spinning to singing, film making to musicals.   They meet in a range of community facilities and many perform and exhibit their work.   Arts Services administers the council's grants scheme for these groups and provides a range of training and support.

Information on most of the groups is in the downloadable Arts Directory on this page.
