Find out what’s happening over the next few weeks at The Boardwalk, Glasgow’s vibrant, creative, and accessible social enterprise events venue.
Paddy’s Market-Life In The Lane
Step into the heart and soul of Glasgow with Paddy’s Market.
September 10-14
This vibrant production is a reimagined version of the hit 2017–2019 comedy drama theatre show that had audiences laughing, crying, and singing along.
It brings the iconic flea market back to life, complete with original music and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Meet Shady Sadie, the make-up lady with a sharp tongue and a soft heart; Bashed Tins Betty, always ready with a deal and a story; Vinyl Vinnie, spinning records and tales in equal measure; and Pet Foods Patsy, your ever-loyal “Chum.”
Together, they paint a colourful portrait of the hawkers who once filled the market with banter, bargains, and bold Glesga spirit.
A tribute to Mother Glasgow and her lost treasures, Paddy’s Market is a heart-warming and heart-breaking celebration of community, resilience, and everything that makes this city unforgettable. Because in Paddy’s Market, just like in life, everything has a price.
