Festival Events 2021

Always and Forever

Organised by Friends of the Glasgow Southern Necropolis. Sunday 21 November, 12pm-3pm at the Southern Necropolis, on Caledonia Road, Gorbals.

Friends of Glasgow Southern Necropolis invite local families and individuals, to come along to the Franciscan Circle area of the Southern Necropolis, share memories and songs about past family members and friends, and celebrate the lives of some of those interred within the cemetery.

Friends of Glasgow Southern Necropolis will collaborate with other local community groups, Bridging the Gap, Givin It Laldie and Local Links Practitioner (Gorbals Health Centre) to support individuals and families to come along and take part in the Always & Forever event, hanging signed hearts onto a memory tree near to the circle.

Throughout the cemetery there are many monuments that are memorials to the many unique individuals, who have contributed to the historical legacy of Glasgow, and along with those near and dear to us, we will celebrate the lives that they have lead. Our good friends from Giving It Laldie will provide opportunities for those present, to rekindle some musical memory links, with guitar and song renditions of tunes that link us with our families and friends.

Soup and sandwiches will be provided for those who come along, with hopes of creating a welcoming experience that will promote opportunities for people to reflect and remember family and friends together.
