Take Me Somewhere 2025
15–26 October | Glasgow
Day by Day Schedule
Take Me Somewhere 2025: what a festival.
We moved, sweat, feasted, danced, promised, revolted. We baked bread, got wet and wild, were tucked into bed, marvelled at suspended wrestlers, made public vows, sat in church pews and ate so much cake.
From intimate rooms to big, sold-out crowds, YOU made the festival as bold and as joyful as it was.
Thank you for bringing the sparkle, thank you for bringing the grit.
