Platter and Patter: Vintage Glasgow Nights Out 1930-1960s

Platter and Patter: Vintage Glasgow Nights Out 1930-1960s opens at Edward House on Tuesday 27 October, running from 12:00 to 13:30. It's part of the Sauchiehall Street Culture and Heritage District's monthly series, which brings community members and a guest together to explore a slice of the street's heritage over a warm bowl of soup.

This session takes you on a tour of Glasgow's pubs through a selection of objects that span from the late Victorian era into the twentieth century. There's a century-old tankard, quiz books and games, and a tin of Tam O'Shanter tobacco. It's not just about looking, though: you can handle the objects, and three scent boxes fragranced with different pub-themed smells let you smell your way back in time. Archive images and film clips round out the picture, including an advert for Sauchiehall Street's own The Maggie pub.

The Open Museum joins in with heritage items covering the social history of Glasgow and Scotland. They've brought out clothes, smoking paraphernalia and tickets, all on hand to help you relive an era of glamour and stage and screen entertainment. Between the objects, the scents, the film, and the soup, it's a fairly complete look at what a night out in the city used to be.

It's free to attend, and you don't need a ticket. You'll find Edward House at 199 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3EX, with the session running from 12:00 to 13:30 on Tuesday 27 October.
