The Weekend Piping Club
January 28th @ 10:00 am - April 9th @ 12:00 pm
The Weekend Piping Club is a fantastic learning place for new players and those that already play. Aimed at young people aged 17 & under, classes are taught in small groups here at the National Piping Centre in McPhater Street. There are three levels, all of which will run for 12 weeks with the Glasgow schools term dates.
The Weekend Piping Club will take place on Saturdays and Sundays (depending on Sunday demand).
