Maryhill Burgh Halls

No community museum without a community - and that's where you come in ☀️
Come along on Wednesday to talk with us about the future of Maryhill Museum and how we plan to secure the local heritage of Maryhill, as well as widening community participation 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
We would particularly welcome residents from the area, those who have lived here for a number of years but have since moved away, and those who worked in the area's heavy industry.

From next week on, the Halls will welcome Drink Wise, Age Well - Glasgow with their weekly workshops for those over 50. Whether you're looking to meet others in a relaxed environment, try new things, or simply unwind for a bit - there is something for you! ✨
Check out Drink Wise, Age Well - Glasgow for more information on the workshops and how to attend!

If you're interested and involved with heritage in your local community, then join us for this event at the Halls by The Scottish Community Heritage Alliance, as part of a community heritage research workshop series around Scotland. 💬

We need your help!
We are currently trying to secure funding to ensure that our plans for Maryhill Museum can go ahead. We want to ensure that the rich and vibrant social history of the area is preserved. However, funders require us to have 5% of our costs in place before they step in! If you can spare a little to help make this project happen then please donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/m aryhillmuseum We know that with your help we can ensure that the history of our community is safeguarded for future generations.

Around 1 in every 350 adults in the UK has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is a neurological disease, where brain cells over time stop functioning well enough to produce the chemical dopamine, and today is Worlds Parkinson's Day. We're therefore lighting up our premises to raise awareness for Parkinson's UK #LightUpScotlandForParkinsons 💡

Only one week to go until out Partick Thistle Fans night at the Halls. We'll be raffling off this signed shirt with all proceeds going towards the Maryhill Museum Project so that we can keep bringing our area's history to life!

🌷This International Women's Day we're ready to celebrate both past accomplishments, and the difficulties women have gone through 🌷
The history of Maryhill is full of women: From heiress Mary Hill of Gairbraid, who gave her name to the area, to the women who staged the riots that finally shut down the Glasgow Magdalene Institution 💪💪
To hear more, sign up for one of our free New Women of Maryhill tours on our website http://www.maryhillburghhalls.org.uk/buil ding-tours or come in and see our stained glass depicting the working women of the time.

We've been working with Glasgow Museums recently for an exciting project (watch this space for more news). They host some excellent events relating to the artwork in their collections. Like this one: a chance not to be missed!

Today is the day! Partick Thistle: Then and Now is open. To celebrate, we'll be keeping the exhibition open until 8pm tonight! Keep an eye on Facebook for other late night openings - We'll post them here!
