Join us for an all-ages creative session as part of Glasgow's Doors Open Days Festival where we get hands on with imagining and building the city of the future.

This year's theme is 'Glasgow: The Visionary City' and the Festival invites us to share our hopes and ideas for Glasgow's future.

Across the day we'll be building a model of what a future Glasgow might look like. A range of recycled materials and art supplies will be provided.

Alongside the creative workshops we'll be screening some films from our archive that show how Glasgow's landscape has changed over the decades.

There will be two sessions, one in the morning starting at 10am and one in the afternoon starting at 2pm. The workshops are free and run on a drop-in basis, but if you want to secure your place you can book on Eventbrite.
