Walking & Writing sessions facilitated by Christie Williamson

About this event

A series of workshops exploring and celebrating the treasures of Glasgow’s Clyde Walkway, with local poet Christie Williamson. We will stroll, talk, stand & stare, read & write – moving slowly through the Glasgow summer. 

(Bring writing material & your imagination.)

The walks are suitable for people with limited walking, and wheelchair users, but wheelchair users MUST be accompanied during the walk by a support person.

There are some slight hills to negotiate.

Meet at the the Glasgow Harbour exit of Partick Station. This is event is repeated on Tuesday 16 August.
