As the long weekend is upon us here in Scotland, Glasgow is buzzing with exciting activities and events. So, we’ve put together the best things to do in Glasgow this Summer Bank Holiday to make your planning easier.
1. Visit this immersive Ancient Egyptian exhibition
Running at the Scottish Event Campus this August, Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition boasts a combination of cutting-edge technology and authentic artefacts and replicas to help bring history to life, and is family-friendly. Visitors can expect 360-degree projections, a hologram room, and an interactive metaverse experience to make it even more exciting. It’s not just another exhibition, and you can book your tickets on Fever.
2. Attend a whimsical boozy brunch with tarot and astrology readings
Glasgow Witchy Bazaar is bringing its whimsical witchy market to The Haberdashery on August 2, as well as their brand new concept – a boozy brunch with tarot card and an astrology reading and a mimosa bar. If that sounds like a bit of you, you can read all about it here.
3. Visit Glasgow’s newest Mexican-American rooftop bar with panoramic views
We’re saying yes to SíSí Rooftop, opening in Glasgow’s Merchant City on August 1, making it the perfect addition to our things to do list this Summer Bank Holiday. Located at the top of The Social Hub, guests can enjoy their time either indoors or on the open-air terrace, soaking in the views and enjoying Mexican-American small plates and cocktails.
4. Watch free movies at an outdoor cinema
This is your last chance to go see free movies at an outdoor cinema, as the last day of the summer events programme at Queen’s Park Arena is August 3. Visitors can expect film screenings, creative art workshops, sports screenings, live music and so much more.
5. Go on a refreshing walk
Summer season is for the outdoors, and there are plenty of green spaces in and around Glasgow to rejoice in. From visiting the Highland cows at Pollok Country Park to the gorgeous waterfall at Rouken Glen Park, here is our list to the best walks near Glasgow.
