Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church
Kelvinside Hillhead’s present building on Observatory Road was originally Hillhead Church and after a 1950 union with Belmont Church in Great George Street, now flats, it became Belmont and Hillhead. A further union in 1978 with Kelvinside (Botanic Gardens) Church, now Oran Mor, brought about its present title. The parish was extended when Belhaven Westbourne Church closed. The fine quality of Victorian architecture in Glasgow is now receiving well deserved credit and our building, completed in 1876, is part of that great heritage. It was designed by James Sillars, who modelled it on the Parisian Gothic masterpiece, the Sainte Chapelle. It was built, by local subscriptions, to replace an iron church in the fields to the west of Byres Road. https://kelvinside-hillhead.org.uk/history-architecture/

EXIT is a fully operating DIY, independent and artist run club and arts space which was opened in September 2023. The building on Maxwell St was once home to Fury Murry’s in the late 80s and 90s, and then repurposed into a strip club. The space has a lot of character, with the majority of the strip club interiors remaining largely intact. EXIT has a strong DIY ethos, platforming and growing the local scene and creative community here in Glasgow.
