What to do on Fair Weekend

Since the Glasgow Fair Weekend is almost on us, we thought we would offer up some suggestions for what to do if your at a loose end this weekend. The weather for Saturday doesn't look that great, But Sunday's looking good [might even be t-shirt weather].

Suggestion 1
Since the weathers looking rather wet on Saturday, how about visiting the tramway. Park yourself in the cafe, for coffee and cake [or lunch] and dash out to the garden in between showers. Once your fully rested take a look around the two new exhibitions, which opened this week. One entitled Format wars by Alex frost and the other an exhibition by Alexandre Perigot.

Suggestion 2
Sunday would be a great day to go to the river festival. see mondays post.

Suggestion 3
If you fancy going for a strole and learning more about Glasgow, what about the Southern Necropolis. They don't have an organised tour on this weekend [tours are on the first weekend of every month] but you can tour yourself anytime. Please find a guide to the Necropolis here. Also heres a link to the councils site.

Suggestion 4
How about a trip to Queens Park, grab some ice cream from Brooklyn Cafe or Queens Park Cafe, and recycle your stale bread by feeding it to the ducks in the pond. Then over to the bowling greens for a seriously competive game of bowls.

Suggestion 5
Pollok House are hosting 'Murder by Candle Light' every day in July and August.

The year is 1932, and Sir William Govan's dinner party at Pollok House has ended in an argument. Sir William left his guests and stormed off to the Gun Room. Soon after there was a power cut when the generator on the river failed. When the power was restored, the butler found his master dead. He had been hit on the head by a candlestick.

but who did it...

Feel free to add your own ideas, for what to do this weekend.
