IT’S ALL GOING ON AT POLLOK
It’s summer time, the kids are off school, the sun is (occasionally) shining, and you want to be outdoors making the most of it. But what can you do that keeps everyone happy? Well, here's one event that will suit all ages - the family fun day at Pollok Country Park.
With a mix of things for kids and adults to do, there will be no possibility of boredom. The adults can be kept out of mischief at the farmers’ market, which will be selling fresh produce direct from the farms. Stalls will include cheese, drinks, meats and honey. The kids will also be kept busy with special shows, a children’s farm with lots of animals to look after, an inflatable village to bounce on and a duck display team to watch.
Pollok Park has more to offer: it houses the Burrell Collection and Pollok House. The Burrell, with its specially designed, award-winning building, has a famous collection of pottery, paintings, sculptures and tapestries from around the world. Pollok House on the other hand, takes you back in time to the 19305 with its assortment of furniture, ceramics and bronzes, as well as an amazing collection of Spanish paintings by Goya, El Greco and Murillo. Both venues will also be running themed tours and workshops throughout the summer months. (Jane Hamilton)
