Several streets in the West End are set to shut later this month as an iconic street event returns to Glasgow.

The Ashton Lane and Vinicombe Street Food Festival will take place on August 29 and August 30, bringing a full weekend of live music, street food, drinks, and entertainment to the city.

Glasgow City Council has confirmed road closures and parking restrictions to ensure public safety during the event.

From midday on August 28 until 10pm on August 30, waiting, loading, and unloading will be prohibited on Ashton Lane, Ashton Lane North, Great George Lane, and Vinicombe Street between Cransworth Street and Byres Road.

From 6am on August 29 until 10pm on August 30, all vehicle movements will be prohibited on the same roads.

These restrictions apply to all vehicles except for an emergency service vehicle carrying out an emergency response or vehicles given permission from Glasgow City Council events section.

Organisers have described the festival as Scotland’s “best street party.”

Brel Bar, one of the event’s key supporters, said: "Scotland’s best street party returns for an unforgettable weekend of live music, mouth-watering street food, refreshing drinks and fantastic entertainment, all set against the backdrop of Glasgow’s iconic cobbled lane.

"Join us from 12pm ’til late on both Saturday and Sunday for two days of family-friendly fun!"

Entry is free, and no tickets are required.
