Scottish Canals are inviting you to pack a picnic and head to Stockingfield Bridge on Sunday 20th August to enjoy a fun, free summer day out!
About Stockingfield Bridge Summer Fun Day
In celebration of the newly installed community artworks at the award-winning site, Scottish Canals will host an afternoon of storytelling, art and entertainment on Sunday, August 20th.
The event will be free and open to all from noon-3pm. Visitors are encouraged to pack a picnic and enjoy some storytelling sessions from Scottish storyteller Betty Skelton, whilst visiting the sites fantastic art installations.
The £14m active travel bridge, which was officially opened last December, connects Ruchill, Maryhill and Gilshochill over the Forth & Clyde Canal.
The development of the foot and cycle bridge represents significant travel improvements for those communities throughout Glasgow.
Eight community artwork projects are currently being installed around the site, bringing life to the public space. Each project has a strong local connection having been designed with input from local residents.
They range from pieces that showcase the area’s industrial past, to community designed ceramic mosaics.
Work is currently underway to construct a 121-metre mystical serpent, the Beithir, which will form the centrepiece of the artworks.
The large snakelike creature in Gaelic folklore, has been formed using reclaimed material which will be covered in mesh and coated in ferro cement with a tile finish. The snake’s head will stretch three metres wide by two metre high and four metres long.
Those who visit the site are encouraged to pay a visit to Make it Glasgow, a social benefit, not for profit business, to find out how they can play their part in tile making for the site at Stockingfield Bridge.
