Now celebrating its 23rd year, The West End Festival takes place this June with a wide variety of events involving a range of businesses on and around Byres Road.
Wander west and join us on Sunday 24th of June from 12-6pm for our Summer Celebration!
To celebrate the upcoming summer holidays, our family-friendly free day out will take over Vinicombe Street and Church Street, both located just off Byres Road in the heart of Glasgow’s West End.
The day will be filled with lots of fun activities to keep the kids (and adults) entertained!
Spend a lazy (hopefully sunny) Sunday afternoon listening to local Glasgow musicians perform live on stage, whilst the kids enjoy free face painting.
Our traders will also be setting up stalls at our summer market, showcasing an array of gifts, crafts, and antiques. When hunger strikes, you'll find a fabulous selection of food and drinks along Byres Road and in the surrounding lanes.
Love Vegan Fest heads west - over 40 stalls including hot food, snacks and lifestyle products.
here at bookclub, we are big fans of the famous wordsmith, we also happen to love haggis (and its vegan counterpart!) so let’s get together and toast scotland’s most famous set of sideburns.
This new photography display captures the ever-changing landscape of Glasgow’s River Clyde. With over 20 stunning images from Glasgow Museums’ Photo Library, it tells the story of how ‘Glasgow made the Clyde and the Clyde made Glasgow’ over a 200-year period up to the present day. Dramatic photographs are presented in four geographic sections and together convey a sense of the changes witnessed by Scotland’s largest river, from the days of salmon fishing in the Clyde and the rise of heavy industry to more recent times when the Garden Festival’s Coca-Cola Roller coaster sat on the Clydeside.
