Carnival Club’s fantastic Bearsden Shark was on display as part of the Bearsden Festival last weekend. The shark inspired the creation of lots of mini sharks at workshops across the weekend.

This year we are celebrating being 21 and decided to have a party to celebrate the occasion. People from all over the organisation and throughout the 21 years came along and it was a brilliant day!
As part of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust’s Open Day Common Wheel had a pop-up exhibit of interesting and unusual bikes. The bikes were chosen by Neil and Steven and the exhibit was curated by our volunteer Marissa. It looked and gave a lot of enjoyment to bike and non bike specialists alike.

Govanhill Festival
Carnival Club created these beautiful banners which were displayed on the gates of Queen’s Park at the Govanhill Festival. The banners celebrate the success in saving the Govanhill Baths, and the Occupation of the baths 20 years ago. The artists took inspiration from the Matisse technique of paper-cuts to create their designs.

Bearsden Festival
Our wonderful Carnival Club creations became part of the Bearsden Festival (10 – 19 May 2019) which ‘celebrated the positive impact of arts on our mental health and wellbeing’. For over a week our flowers, animals, characters – and totem pole – graced the proceedings bringing their own colourful charm and sense of fun.
Our bike engineer provided a Dr. Bike service for the Thorn Park Fun Run/Cycle Fest on the final day, and fixed loads of bikes of all sizes.
