Led by our Women Make History volunteer tour guides, our sell out women’s heritage walks highlight the hidden histories of trailblazing, hardworking and ingenious women who have inhabited Glasgow over the centuries: from housewives to hawkers, artists to activists, and entrepreneurs to entertainers.

Pick up a Stamp as you Stomp loyalty card, do all 6 walks and get a special Women Make History treat! Large print versions of the tour guides’ script are available on the day.

Glasgow Girls of Garnethill, Sunday 18th August, 2pm to 4pm, £10/£6, Meet at the CCA

From the bustle of Sauchiehall Street to quiet and leafy back streets, this bohemian enclave is full of surprises and has been home to many remarkable women who have made Garnethill one of the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspots in Glasgow.

“Excellent way to spend afternoon and well worth the ticket cost: will be back!” – Walk participant

See all our upcoming heritage walks here.

Meeting Point: We meet outside the CCA on Sauchiehall Street. 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 Friday prior to the women’s heritage walk.
