About this Event

Join us on a journey through the histories of Govan. From work-ins and red roses to rent strikes and the arms trade, find out about some of the people and movements that have shaped the area over the years. This tour is a bit different to our standard Govan itinerary - please note the different start point at Water Row! We'll have new stops along the way to KPC ranging from the Garden Festival and refugee solidarity to antifascist action on Paisley Roiad West/

As part of Kinning Park Complex 30th anniversary celebrations you are invited to drop in to KPC after this tour for tea and coffee, a look round the building and exhibitions, and to find out more about the events happening to commemorate 30 years since the building was successfully occupied by the local community to prevent its closure.

Time and distance: Meet at the Aitken Memorial Fountain, Water Row, Govan Cross. The walk will last approximately 2 hours and will finish at Kinning Park Complex G41 1BA. The distance is just under 2 miles.

Accessibility: This route is on city pavements. There are no opportunities for seated stops along the majority of this route.

If you would like to see a detailed map of the route, or if there is any further information that would be helpful for access please email us: radicalglasgowtours at gmail.com.
