Glasgow City Heritage Trust hold a series of quarterly events called ‘City Talks’. As opposed to the more traditional format of our monthly lecture series, City Talks are two-way debates between a specially selected panel of experts and the audience. Previous topics have included “What should we do with historic buildings that have outlived their original use?”, “Can we have a cafe-culture in Glasgow when it rains all the time?”, and “Placemaking and the River Clyde”. Sometimes these events are in special venues; to date we have held them at The Panopticon Music Hall and Sloans Ballroom as well as at our Bell Street HQ. Check this page regularly, sign up to the mailing list or become our friend on Facebook to find out about forthcoming events.
