Gather & Gab at Holmwood House: The Iliad Frieze at Holmwood House

📢Join us at Holmwood for Gather & Gab! ☕✨

We’re excited to launch a brand-new series of relaxed community meet-ups at Holmwood! Join us on the first and third Thursday of each month at 11:30 AM in our overflow café for a friendly chat over coffee.

Each session explores a fascinating topic related to Holmwood House, from the lives of its servants to the influence of Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson on Glasgow’s architecture. It’s a great opportunity to meet people from your local community while learning more about Holmwood, Thomson’s legacy, and the work of our charity to preserve this Southside gem!

🔹 August 7th – The Iliad Frieze at Holmwood House 🎭🏺

Uncover the story behind the stunning Iliad Frieze that adorns Holmwood dining room walls. Inspired by Homer’s epic tale, this remarkable piece of art is more than just decoration—what does it tell us about the house, its owners, and the classical influences that shaped Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson’s work? Join us to find out!

🔹 Free to attend – grab a coffee from the café and join the conversation!

Come along, connect with others, and discover the stories that make Holmwood so special. We can’t wait to see you there!
