GVVT is stocking up on individual fruit trifles as we prepare to welcome a very special guest to Family & Community Super Sunday on July 27.
Karen Dunbar, star of legendary Chewin’ the Fat, at last has escaped the corner shop and found a friend – more than a thousand of them who will attend our sparkling fun event at Bridgeton Bus Garage.
Comic, DJ, singer and Bafta-winning actor Karen will kick-start the show at noon, introducing the swinging sound of the Michael Brawley Big Band, supported by Super Sunday newcomers the Jump ’n’ Jive Dancers.
Other newbies include Ghostbusters Alba, sure to be a big presence with their 12-foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Ectomobiles and charity merchandise.
Toy and art stalls are added to the bill and there is larger than ever participation by community groups, including Glasgow North East Foodbank who will gratefully accept donations of tins, jars, pasta etc.
Darth Vader and his Star Wars troopers return along with the classic Tunnock’s van, superb model buses and boats, face painters, Wee Happy Shop and Bus, Clippies Café, and our new museum display.
Visitors can also test their bus driving skills on the SIM1 simulator and their rowing prowess, courtesy of Clydesdale Rowing Club.
GVVT Family & Community Super Sunday is a top day for the family – and all set against the unique backdrop of 130 vintage buses, lorries and fire appliances.
• Doors open 11.00-16.30, enter by Broad Street. Free vintage bus service to and from George Square with added pick-up at Bellgrove Station. Admission details gvvt.org/family-community-open-day
