The countdown to Bungo In The Back Lanes 2013 starts here!

Entering its 13^th year, Strathbungo’s favourite community festival Bungo In The Back Lanes is set to light up the area on Saturday 22^nd June from 1-4pm.

Famous for its residents’ stalls selling everything from bric-a-brac and jewellery to homemade food and crafts, Bungo In The Back Lanes will take place in the gardens and lanes between Nithsdale Road and Vennard Gardens.

Eye-catching stalls and features at this year’s festival include: The Big Bungo Tea and Coffee Garden; New Victoria Allotments plant sale; Babu Bombay Street Kitchen; Happy Holistics offering massages; new local food promoters Locavore; Glasgow City Council’s food recycling stall; architectural walk of the area; Childrens’ Garden led by Merry Go Round; Tea Garden with the Viennese Ensemble plus the beer garden and live music from local bands.

The most exciting part of the festival is seeing which DIY stalls are set up on the day. Previous years have produced snail races, jumble stalls and guess-the-sweetie-in-the-jar competitions. People are free to open up their garden or bring a table full of wares they’d like to sell down to the lanes on the day.
