Join us in the garden for our regular volunteer session. It’s a drop in session so there is no need to book and you can come along for part or the whole session. You’ll be helping us with a range of tasks ranging from composting, weeding and garden maintenance. All equipment is provided. There’s always the chance to take a tea-break and chat to other volunteers, so it’s also a great chance to meet other people in the neighbourhood.

A chance to visit a once derelict tenement gap site, transformed for the community with a beautiful new building that inspires people to create, meet and come together.

In 2016 Glasgow City Council granted Woodlands Community a long-term lease on the derelict gap site on the corner of Ashley St and West Princes St. The site had lain empty since the mid 1990s after the last building was demolished due to mining subsidence. During 2016-7 we undertook major building works to bring the site back into community use and our new Community Meeting Room opened its doors to the public in October 2017.

With big, bright windows to create an open, airy space, our new Community Meeting Room is perfect for workshops, craft sessions, meetings, rehearsals, interviews and much more and is situated right next to our beautiful Community Garden.

Glasgow libertarian left choir celebrating songs of working class struggle, anti-fascism and resistance. Keeping the tradition of radical song alive.

Meet 7-9pm every second Tuesday.

Have you ever told a friend about what you do in the garden? Maybe written a wee text to say the potatoes are flowering? Then you're well on the way to writing your way through the garden. If you can say it or make a text, you can write it.

Why write it? Because it's as good as growing some plants - it's something you can share with other folk or maybe just keep to yourself. Unlike supermarkets, where crooked carrots don't get a mention, there are no crooked words - no wrong words. In our sessions, we'll try all sorts of writing - no experience is necessary - to have fun and maybe to get us all sharing the joys of words and er, well, carrots. Or chrysanthemums or roses or cabbages. Even earthworms.

Gerry Loose will be the facilitator www.gerryloose.com

There's a lot in common between writing and gardening. Both start small - seeds & words - and grow from there. The stories of growing - the droughts, slugs, pigeons, bad weather, too much sun, can make up a story or a poem or a great diary entry or memory or even personal writing which is only meant for the writer to see. In writing, we can explore recipes, paradises, imaginery gardens, seasons, garden work, wild gardens, city gardensand public gardens. Gardeners have so many stories to tell - and to write!

It’s time to stop faffing about and start writing.

Spend the day with a bunch of writers, limitless caffeine and no Internet.

We’ll help you set your personal writing goal for the day and longer term. We’ll talk about your successes and blocks.

And then you write. And write. And write.

A score board, gold stars, general silliness and supportive competitiveness will help you reach your targets, break you out of your bad habits, and get your writing moving.

No distractions. No excuses. Just writing. Perfect.

Cost: £37 to include lunch and unlimited caffeine and biscuits

Fed up with Brexit?
Worried about Climate Change?
Wanting some good cheer to escape the doom and gloom?

There’s never been a better time to escape into a book. Rather than read alone, we are pondering setting up a Woodlands Book Club, to share our love of books with friends, neighbours and fellow Woodlanders.

Join us for our first meeting where we’ll discuss logistics, ideas and formats.

Have you read a book recently that has filled you with love, hope or inspiration?
Bring it along and share it with others.

No need to ‘book’ a space - just turn up!

We’ll put the kettle on and get the biscuits in :-)

Banquet of the Beasts is the debut novel by Tim Cowen that will be self published in early 2020. It is a dark tale about the nature of power and power of nature. A story of good versus evil, where the under-dog is only part-human.

Watch Promo Video

More info and order yourself a copy of the book

“Not like anything I have ever read before”

“It made me think. It made me laugh. It made me cry.”

WHAT IF
Margaret Thatcher was not dead?
Foodbanks were a deadly experiment?
A fox, a badger and a starling were our last hope?

Join Tim and his beastly cast for a special event with exclusive readings, discussion of the the book’s themes and the chance to pre-order limited edition copies of the novel .
