Platform in Easterhouse turns 20 with a year of Made in Easterhouse celebrations
The arts centre at The Bridge has marked two decades of participatory arts with 26 creative projects and a multi-artform birthday festival in October 2026.
Glasgow's East End begins at Glasgow Green, the city's oldest park, where the People's Palace and Winter Gardens tell the story of Glaswegian life. Nearby, the Barras weekend market fills the streets of the Calton, Celtic play at Celtic Park in Parkhead, and Bridgeton, Dennistoun and Tollcross each keep a strong local spirit. Coverage reaches north to Springburn and east to Easterhouse, with good news from the East End's people, clubs and community groups.
