Information for the day

Getting to the march

We strongly encourage taking public transport to get to the march.

If you are travelling from outside Glasgow, you can get a train to either Queen Street or High Street stations, both of which are just under a half hour walk from the march assembly point in Glasgow Green. Note that Queen Street station has step free access but High Street does not.
From the city centre (Ingram Street), you can get a bus to the assembly point – the 18, 18A or 263 buses all take you within a 5 minute walk of the assembly point (get off at Graignestock Street).
The march assembly point (and the rally) is near the People’s Palace in the East of Glasgow Green. You will need to enter the park through one of the East side entrances as there is a Christmas market happening at the McLennan Arch entrance on the same day.

What to bring

A placard or a banner to make your demands clear. Come along to one of our banner making events in the lead up to the march to get inspired!

Friends and family! This is a family friendly event, and the more people are there, the more visible and unforgettable we will be. Why not bring a friend to their first ever climate march?

Warm and waterproof clothing. It's November in Scotland, so be prepared for any weather – we won’t let a little wind and rain stop us!

Snacks. The march and rally take place over lunch time, so make sure you bring some food to keep you going! There aren’t many shops or cafes near the assembly point, so come prepared. Some food will be available at the rally as well as hot drinks, so remember to bring a keep cup.

Speakers and performers

After the march, there will be a rally from 2.30-4pm in Glasgow Green with speeches, music and dancing.

The rally will be hosted by Mystika Glamoor, the surrealist socialist socialite of Edinburgh drag.

We will have performances from vibrant community brass band Brass, Aye?, singing with Queer Voices Glasgow and DJ Tamboi will provide the tunes. And we'll end the day with a couple of ceilidh dances!

A range of speakers from across the movements involved in organising the march will address the crowd:

Caroline Rance, Friends of the Earth Scotland
Peter Kelly, The Poverty Alliance
Susie Wood, Better Buses for Strathclyde
Pinar Aksu, migrant justice campaigner
Nadia Shaikh, Right to Roam
Will Redpath, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign
Dave Moxham, Scottish Trades Union Congress

Toilets

There will be portaloos including accessible options at the march assembly point. The accessible route description includes information on locations of accessible toilets on the march route.
