Doors open at 6.30 p.m. The screening (read "screaming"!) commences at 7 p.m.

Admission is free, however please dig deep to contribute towards the restoration of this unique and valuable jewel in Glasgow's heritage of entertainment, GLPers. Oh, and take a jacket, as there is currently no heating in the auditorium.

Admission is free (We charge to get out!)

Guising fun at the Meadow

Wednesday 31st - between Clouston Street and Kelbourne Street, North Kelvinside

The North Kelvin Meadow campaign - battling to save local green space from an unpopular housing plan - is staging a one of a kind Hallowe'en event tomorrow (Wednesday, October 31).

Actor and campaign supporter Tam Dean Burn will be performing a unique reading of Julia Donaldson's The Room on the Broom, and every child will be given a packed dinner courtesy of Tesco (who will be providing food) and North Star (who will be making the dinner boxes).

Children (and adults) can come dressed up. There will also be face painting and Hallowe'en activities, and the fun starts at 4:30pm

Though these events are free, the campaign values donations as they help to cover costs which are otherwise carried by a small number of the local community.

Frankenstein

The Southside Film Festival

On Tuesday 30 October the Southside Film Festival will be screening Frankenstein as part of our new Film Club in partnership with The Glad Cafe.

The film will start at 8pm, doors at 7:30pm. Tickets are £6 (£5 for concessions*) and are available on the night from the Glad Cafe and also online from Tickets Scotland (search by date or for Southside Film, with #1 booking fee).

Anyone who dresses up for the screening will be able to buy a ticket for the reduced rate of £5.

Frankenstein is James Whale's 1931 horror classic regarded as the definitive film version of Mary Shelley's tale of tragedy and horror. According to Rotten Tomatoes "Frankenstein adroitly explores the fine line between genius and madness."

Synopsis: Henry Frankenstein, a scientist, and his devoted assistant Fritz, a hunchback, piece together a human body and bring it to life. Boris Karloff stars as the monster created by Frankenstein and the film focuses on his struggle in this 'life after death'.

All Film Club screenings will be held at The Glad Cafe, 1006a Pollokshaws Road, Shawlands (opposite the five-a-side football pitches).
