Bungo in the Back Lanes

Bungo in the Back Lanes is back for 2026!

While it looks pretty wet out there just now, the forecast looks great for Saturday, so get ready. The event runs from 1 to 5pm (approx) in the lanes from Nithsdale Road to Vennard Gardens.

There’s full details on the Back Lanes pages on the blog:

Overview of the event: For those who don’t know
FAQ: All you need to know about setting up a stall
Map, Children’s Garden and Live Music line-ups
Volunteering: It’s not too late; set up starts at 9.30am in the Marywood/Queen Square Lane, and we start taking down after 5pm – come and give us a hand. Or say hello at The Strathbungo Society stall.

Brighter Bungo

Saturday 28th February 11am – 1pm

Less glamorous than Window Wanderland, but another event that depends on community participation for its success. We’ll be delighted to see anyone who can spare a half hour between 11 and 1.

Here’s hoping for decent weather, but come rain or shine we will be outside Bossa on Nithsdale Road handing out litter pickers, gloves, black bags and optional hi-viz vests (children’s sizes now available).

Somehow an unglamorous activity on a cold damp morning feels like a nice family event all thanks to the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Children and dogs welcome.

Brighter Bungo

Saturday 1st November 11am – 1pm

Could you spare an hour or so to help clear up our back lanes on Saturday 1st November between 11 and 1? We will be outside Bossa on Nithsdale Road for the duration, ready to hand out litter pickers, gloves and black bags, (Glasgow City Council will collect them on Monday).

Somehow an unglamorous activity on a cold damp morning feels like a nice family event all thanks to the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Children and dogs welcome.

Please join us; a little help makes a big difference. Imelda might even tell you her secret plans for brightening up Strathbungo even further if you ask nicely.

Brighter Bungo

Saturday 31 May 11am – 1pm

Could you spare a half hour to help clear up our back lanes on Saturday 31 May between 11 and 1? We will be outside Bossa on Nithsdale Road for the duration, ready to hand out litter pickers, gloves and black bags, (Glasgow City Council will collect them on Monday).

Please note, we are swapping to a Saturday, so let’s see how that goes. We had such a great turnout for our November clear up. Somehow an unglamorous activity on a cold damp morning felt like a nice family event thanks to the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Children and dogs welcome.

Fingers crossed for another successful clear up, especially with Bungo in the Back Lanes fast approaching (Saturday 21 June). Please join us; a little help makes a big difference.

Bungo Clean Up

As someone who has his own pick up stick to clear litter from the area around the bins at the bottom of the QS/RPS back lane I would love to join the Bungo Clean Ups that you organise. However, it always happens 11-1 on Sunday, which is just when I am in church! Could you vary the times a bit, so I can both help clean up Strathbungo and worship? Cleanliness is next to godliness!
