Animating Sauchiehall Street
Animating Sauchiehall Street is a strand of our programme which aims to bring life and moments of collective joy to Sauchiehall Street.
Working closely with cultural organisations in the area, from now till June, we're trying out different activities on the street to celebrate the diversity of cultural organisations and heritage within the area.
In February, we hosted a big outdoor Strip the Willow on Sauchiehall Street with highland dancers, Caragh MacKinnon and Maria Monk, and a piping band from the National Piping Centre. This event brought people of all ages and generations together to celebrate Sauchiehall Street’s name which originates from the old Scots language, and means “Willow Meadow” and the street’s social history of dance heritage.
