WLCF Brings World Cup Fun to Livingston Designer Outlet This Weekend
West Lothian Community Foundation (WLCF) and Livingston Designer Outlet are inviting families to join them this weekend for a celebration of football and World Cup excitement.
As part of WLCF’s Summer of Sport 2026 programme, the team will be at Livingston Designer Outlet from Friday 12th to Monday 15th, between 10am and 3pm each day, delivering a range of fun football-themed activities for children and young people.
Visitors will have the chance to take part in a variety of football challenges, including the popular Beat the Goalie Challenge, with plenty of prizes up for grabs each day. There will also be the opportunity to win one of 40 free day passes to the West Lothian Community Foundation Summer Camp.
The event provides a fantastic opportunity for children and families to get involved, enjoy some football fun, test their skills and celebrate the excitement of the World Cup in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
The activation forms part of Livingston Designer Outlet’s ongoing programme of family-friendly events and community partnerships, helping to create positive opportunities for young people through sport across West Lothian.
Young football fans are encouraged to come along, take on the Beat the Goalie Challenge and experience first-hand the inclusive and accessible opportunities that football can provide for children and young people throughout the region.
Michelle Whitelaw, Centre Director at Livingston Designer Outlet, said:
“With international football fever building across the country, we’re excited to give young visitors the chance to experience some of that excitement for themselves through this interactive partnership with West Lothian Community Foundation. We can’t wait to see the energy and enthusiasm this activation brings to families visiting the outlet, and we look forward to celebrating Scotland’s return to the World Cup with them.”
