What's On

Fun for all the family! Barshaw Gala Day returns to Barshaw Park in Paisley, come along for a day of  free family fun.

Barshaw Gala Day returns to Barshaw Park, Paisley, with 34 diverse stalls, four food vendors, a stage programmed by Paisley Radio, and an amazing host of free family-friendly activities - you won't want to miss this!

This year, we are excited to partner with a local radio station, Paisley Radio. Supported by Erskine Arts, Paisley Radio will host the stage throughout the day. They will introduce the stage acts and host the amazing treasure hunt where participants interact with the stalls to uncover clues. Ten lucky winners will receive treasure bags!

The stage will showcase a variety of local performers and groups, including CB Dance Company, Rockus Community Choir and Happilele, a ukulele band.

There's loads of free family fun on offer including:

• Arts and crafts workshops led by Big Al
• Face painting
• Inflatables (including a brand new gladiator ring)
• Performances by the Seagulls from Surreal McCoy

Families can also enjoy boat racing at the pond with the Model Yacht Club, train rides on the miniature railway, and thrilling funfair rides - there's something for everyone!

How to get to Barshaw Park

The only onsite parking is designated for blue badge holders. We therefore encourage visitors to use public transport or walk to the park.

Volunteer to help at major events

For each event, we need volunteers to help us out. There are lots of different roles for our events volunteers. 

Volunteering is a great way to get skills and experience in working at major events. It's also a great way of getting out and about, meeting new and like-minded people, and making a valuable contribution to your community.

Send an email to Valerija Tkacenko, our Event Coordinator, at eventsvolunteers@renfrewshire.gov.uk if you'd like to volunteer.
