Hidden Histories
It has been 100 years since the original Kelvin Hall was destroyed by fire. Join us for an evening of surprising stories exploring what has happened in this beloved building since then!
About Hidden Histories
From barrage balloons to boxing, to jazz and Jackie Stewart – there's a lot more to the Kelvin Hall than the circus and carnival!
Your hosts Norry Wilson (Lost Glasgow) and Ann Cameron (National Library of Scotland) will have plenty of films and photographs ready to bring the Kelvin Hall to life.
This event is part of Local and Community History Month and coincides with Glasgow's 850th anniversary celebration year., as well as 100 years of the National Library of Scotland. It offers an opportunity to take stock of the city's past, present and future.
