Dear Readers
Welcome to our summer issue of Primary Times in Glasgow and
the West of Scotland.
I’m sure that now the warmer weather has set in we’ve all already
started enjoying those long summer evenings, barbeques, ice
cream, and family fun in the sun. It’s such a beautiful time of year
and brings lovely opportunities to make the most of the outdoors!
In this issue we are delighted to bring you loads of brilliant
events and activities for you and your children to enjoy, many of
which are free or low cost. We’ve also got some amazing shows
on our Box Office page for your budding theatre goers, including
Madagascar the Musical at the King’s Theatre.
Don’t forget to check our website for more fun things to do at
www.primarytimes.co.uk.
We have a huge range of activities listed to keep your children
busy and active during the summer. We’ve got everything from
Wildlife Watch to Superhero Days!
We hope you enjoy this issue, and make some lovely family
memories over the coming months.
With our best wishes,
The Primary Times Team
