East End Women’s Heritage Walk, Saturday 18th August, 2pm to 4pm, £10/£6
The women of the East End have always had to be resourceful and industrious simply to survive. This walking tour focuses on some of their achievements and struggles, and the radical nature of the area which gave birth to them. Learn about the women of the Templeton factory, the suffragettes, the brazen women of Glasgow Green, Battling Betty, the woman who set up the Barras and many, many more!
The tour includes a stop at Glasgow Women’s Library, dedicated to remembering such women and their achievements.
Meeting Point: Please gather at Mercat Cross. Please do not arrive without having booked your place in advance as tour guides are not able to take payment, and the walk may be full. Bookings close on the Thursday prior to the women’s heritage walk.
