What’s on in Glasgow this March?
Top for Spring Theatre
A Play, a Pie and a Pint have launched their Spring performances. There are some belters on the programme. Look out for Swansong, a gentle new musical exploring desperation and the reawakening of hope. Over one night across the skies of Edinburgh, a young woman and her unlikely companion rediscover the joy of being alive. A soulful and unforgettable musical.
Joy is a dramedy, where the titular character could not be further in character than her name. Following a truly awful date, Joy embarks on a journey to find a sense of humour. Through sure-proof internet advice, Joy’s self-discovery leads her along a five-step programme, learning to find ‘joy’ in who she really is.
And finally, leading up to Easter, Miss Lockwood Isn’t Well, tells the story of a teacher in a Catholic Primary School who is suspended from her role following some interesting ‘events’ in her classroom. Is Miss Lockwood truly having some religious visitations, or is she indeed, not too well? Dramatic yes, but this play is laced with comedy too whilst exploring religion and belief.

The enormously popular Country2Country lands at the Ovo Hydro in March for a weekend of good ole’ country music. Over the last decade or so, country music has evolved into a universal movement, influencing mainstream pop artists and beyond. On the line-up over the three-day weekend, country royalty such as Keith Urban, Brooks and Dunn and Zach Top will all take to the stage. It’s a party like no other…well almost no other.
Because C2C afterparties are legendary. And several of our favourite music venues are welcoming you post-concert. SWG3, Slay and the Classic Grand are all getting into that country vibe after the shows.
To get yourself in the mood, why not visit Maggies Rock n Rodeo in Merchant City and learn to line dance? With dates throughout March, get those cowboy boots dusted down partner and join the grapevine – yeehaw!!

New year, new you, so why not pop along to the SEC and pick up some tips for a new hobby this March? The Creative Craft Show returns for its annual showcase of all thing’s hobby. Papercraft, knitting, jewellery making, the list really is endless. With exhibitors, workshops, lectures – if you aren’t inspired to get creative, you’re dead inside.
And if you are looking for an incredible day out with your little ones, take them along to the hugely enjoyable Model Rail Scotland expo at the end of March. This is the biggest model railway show in Scotland. Enthusiast or not, this show is joyous for the sheer commitment to detail and love of model railways that the participants show. All aboard!
