About this Venue
Kinning Park Complex
Kinning Park Complex is a community anchor organisation that occupies an old school annex built in 1911.
In 1996 a sit in by local women in response to council plans to close the building, resulted in the building being given back to the community.
In 2018 it was one of the first urban buildings to use Community Asset legislation and become wholly owned by Kinning Park Complex SCIO as a resource for its local community.
KPC is a much cherished building by its local community and it’s sympathetic renovation which kept a lot of the original features and feel of the building remind people of the past and conjure memories, but also make it a place where people want to come and be part of again and make it part of their future.
