This project has seen the removal of the brick planters and has created user friendly space in which to enjoy the canal side setting, improving access between the shopping centre and car parking area. The works included new paving, low level lawns, interactive water features and a canal side boardwalk and makes for the perfect venue for this brand new festival.
The most recent addition to the area is the new bridge canopy. The ‘swan in flight’ structure has just been put into place over the Forth and Clyde Canal at Clydebank Shopping Centre.
Plans are well under way for Clydebank’s first ever Canal Festival and will offer visitors a varied and entertaining range of activities and attractions including boat trips, Army Cadet and Sea Cadets displays, local arts and crafts, books stalls, a fun fair, street theatre, children’s entertainment and live music from up and coming talent along the lockside and throughout the festival site, plus the local radio station “Your Radio” Roadshow! There will be a wide variety of food stalls, an Italian Coffee Stand, from Walks and Talks to Hawks and Owls from The Bird’s of Prey Centre…there will clearly be something for everyone!
Good weather on the July 5th will hopefully help to see the Clydebank Canal Festival go from strength to strength!
