With less than two weeks to go to the big Bungo bash, it’s time for an update.
Stallholders are getting in touch every day with their stall ideas and locations. Keep checking the Bungo map to find out what’s going on. And if you have grand plans, get in touch either via the blog or email chair@strathbungo.co.uk
If you want to set up a stall but don’t have a back garden of your own Queen/Regent and Regent/Nithsdale currently look like the lanes with most available space but, as ever, it’s hard to judge before the day itself.
Latest additions include:
The Glad Cafe on Regent/Queen Lane, pilates sessions and health and fitness info on Marywood/Queen and The Animated Emporium of Curiosities on Marywood/Vennard.
The Glad Cafe are hoping to open a place on Pollokshaws Rd in the near future. They will be at the back of No.41 Regent Park square with live music, bric-a-brac and tea/coffee plus paintings by local artists The Square Slice Boys.
The Animated Emporium of Curiosities will be behind 33 Marywood Square and features children’s games and animations by the team that brought you the animation workshops at Spring Fling,
The children’s garden will have a bouncy castle, a Merry-Go-Round bring-and-buy sale (do look out clean, good quality kids’ items to bring along), face painting by Fun Paint Factory, kindly sponsored by Eglinton Dental Practice and a stall from Barefoot Books plus a selection of fun village-fete style games to play and bubbles.
Our posters are now out and about and the flyers have just been printed. We’ll be dropping those off in local shops and businesses over the next few days. Get in touch if you’d like to help distribute any.
We’re also still looking for tombola/raffle donations (please drop off at 53 Queen Square) and a small freezer for the Marywood tea garden.
We’ve also taken a big gulp and sneaked a peek at a long-range weather forecast. It’s not likely to be hugely reliable this far out but it looks like sunny spells and 17 degrees Celsius with a chance of showers.
The event is always on and always fun come rain or shine but it would be lovely to have a bit of sun this year!
There’s a final planning meeting this Monday 18th, 7.30pm in The Bungo on Nithsdale Road. Do pop along if you’d like to help on the day or in the build-up.
hello! I’d like to offer taster chair massage treatments at Bungo in the Backlanes – would anyone have room for lil ol me and my massage chair? Claire, Happy Place Holistics
