The Reading of the Names ceremony will mark the end of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt to Glasgow with a traditional oral tradition at Tramway in Glasgow on 3 October 2026, free to attend.
Mark the end of the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt to Glasgow with the traditional Reading of the Names ceremony, an oral tradition that ensures each person memorialised in the Quilt is remembered as an individual, not a statistic. The format has been used where possible at all displays, with AIDS Quilt UK supporters reading aloud the names of those commemorated on the panels. The traditional Reading of the Names ceremony will be followed by a moment of noise and a blessing from the Haus of Nunsense (the Scottish chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence). ACCESS Tramway is fully wheelchair accessible. See more information about venue access on our Access page
