The Mediaeval Glasgow Trust, Glasgow Churches Together and Glasgow Life organise the yearly St Mungo Festival. It celebrates our patron saint and endeavours to increase awareness of Glasgow’s history through free events and exhibitions which bring alive the story of the city’s founding to all its people. It is held around the Feast Day of St Mungo on the 13 January. The 2025 Festival is its sixteenth year.
Sincere thanks to Glasgow City Council, Colin Beattie, K G McAlpine, Marine Products Scotland, The North Parish Washing Green Society, and Tunnock’s for their support.
We would also like to thank Glasgow College, St Mungo’s Academy, St Aloysius’ College, Interfaith Glasgow, Interfaith Scotland and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for their assistance.
The St Mungo Festival will be the first event in the official programme for Glasgow 850. In addition to a wider January programme, June will see the 2025 Molendinar Lecture and a celebration of the city’s High Street, the thoroughfare upon which Glasgow was founded and out from which it grew. It is also hoped to organise events marking the unique contribution of Archbishop Robert Blackadder (1445–1508).
