Out of this world baking for grown ups. No garish icing colours here, just delicious flavours and textures.
Need to get there early though as they close when they sell out.

Queens Park Arena is a community led performance space about 3 minutes walk from the apartment. Through out summer, there is a diverse range of events on to suit all ages and tastes from theatre and cinema to dance and disco and everything in between, including fitness classes, early years activities, concerts and football screening. It's so close that it would be a shame to not at least check it out.

A large victorian park directly across from the apartment. You can't miss it. Grab a coffee from one of the local coffee shops and have a relaxing stroll around the duck pond, watch the tennis players and say hi to all the local dogs.
Wander up to the flag pole for a fantastic view of Glasgow!

Children love this place. It has a working farm so if you visit in the spring/early summer, all the baby animals are still young- very cute.
There’s also a tractor that takes you from the museum to the farm which is fun for the kids.
