Welcome to the latest edition of What’s On, a guide to all the events run by Govanhill Baths this autumn.
A highlight of the coming months is the annual Doors Open Day, a Scotland-wide festival that lets the public explore hundreds of fascinating buildings for free. We are excited to once again open the doors of Govanhill Baths on 16 and 17 of September and let you get an exclusive view of the exciting refurbishment of this iconic building as it is restored to its former glory. Please note, booking is essential.
As part of the festival you’ll also be able to visit our arts space the Deep End on Nithsdale Street, finding out about all the amazing projects taking place there. You’ll also be able to view our archive and learn the history and future of Govanhill Baths.
There are exciting developments at our People’s Pantry with the acquisition of a new delivery van that will allow us to significantly expand the membership of this very successful and much-needed service. We are always on the look out for volunteers to join the team, including for the pantry’s gardening project, so if you are interested please email:
