Throughout the day, you can make your own postcard to celebrate what you love about Glasgow. At 1pm and 3pm you can try Hapa Zome, (bashing a flower on to fabric, a wee linen bag) and you can take home the wee bag you decorate.

Between 1-3pm you can also take part in an arts workshop run by Visual Artist Marion Gardyne and again take home your art work.

From 2-3pm, Steven Clark will do a live music set featuring well known Glasgow songs and introducing some new ones.
