Editor's Picks

When faced with over 500 options, it can be hard to decide where to start. Our editors have sifted through the listings to bring you the absolute highlights for the week starting July 6th.

For those who love a bit of mystery and competition, the city centre is the place to be. We highly recommend the "Explore Glasgow’s hidden wonders with an exciting scavenger hunt!" starting at Saint Enoch Square. Priced between £8.78 and £15.70, it is a fantastic way to see the city from a new perspective. If you are looking for something slightly more comprehensive, the "Discover Glasgow! Interactive Treasure Hunt & City Walk" at George Square (£28.96) offers a deeper dive into the city's fascinating history and layout.

If your goals for the week are more focused on health and wellness, head over to Maryhill. The local facilities are offering both Recreational Swimming and Lane Swimming (fast) on July 6th. Whether you want a leisurely dip to unwind or a high-intensity session to clear your head, Maryhill has you covered. Additionally, for those looking for an active start to the week, the FT Express at Glasgow Club Springburn is a great way to get moving on Monday.
