Springburn Winter Gardens

[1] Springburn Park was opened by Glasgow Corporation in 1892 and laid out to a design by the City Engineer, A.

The family gifted a bandstand, built by the Saracen Foundry, to the park in 1893 and also donated £12,000 to build Springburn Public Halls.

[4][6] After local community activists campaigned against the demolition of Springburn Public Halls in 2012,[7] the Springburn Winter Gardens Trust was founded as a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2013, and has progressively worked towards a restoration plan for the building.

[9] An £8 million restoration programme by Collective Architecture to convert the building into a major events and performance venue was unveiled by the Trust in October 2020.

[1] The largest structure of its kind in Scotland, it is approximately 180 feet (55 metres) long and 9,060 sq ft (840 m2) in area.

Pictured in 2008, the structure was inundated with plant and tree growth prior to clearance works undertaken by Springburn Winter Gardens Trust in recent years
