Hope you had a great Christmas and enjoy Hogmanay (responsibly😉)! Our final post of the year is from photos supplied by Carol Donoghue. One is Pollok Park bridge with a great sun effect, the other may need a bit of zooming in. We know what it is, do you?

An eerie scene in the park this morning! Luckily no ghostly pirates or gentlemen in top hats carrying medical bags were seen!
As a reminder our event today has been CANCELLED due to the forecast weather.

Please be advised Storytelling in the Fairy Village this Saturday has been CANCELLED. Unfortunately the forecast is for heavy rain. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Need something to do with the little ones (recommended 4-6 years) this Saturday, why not bring them along at noon.
We have a storytelling session with Irene Russell in Pollok Park Fairy Village. There is no need to book, just turn up to this free public event, but all children must be accompanied by an adult. 🧚♂️🧚🧚♀️
