Sma’ Shot Day
Paisley's annual Sma' Shot day event, one of the oldest workers' festivals in the UK, will take place this year on Saturday 6th July!
About Sma’ Shot Day
Sma’ Shot Day is Paisley’s annual celebration of the historic victory of local weavers in a famous dispute.
Sma’ Shot Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of each July. This was when weaving families would traditionally take their holiday ‘doon the watter’.
Join us on Saturday 6 July for Paisley’s day – we’ve got lots going on!
Sma’ Shot Parade
12pm – 1pm
Brodie Park to Abbey Close
Co-ordinated by Bridgeman Arts in collaboration with community groups, performers and musicians.
The parade brings to life the traditional weavers’ celebration in honour of their victory. It tells some exciting, undiscovered stories of weavers’ past. This year, we’re highlighting some of the performers and characters who might have appeared at Paisley Fair at the time.
Burning of the Cork
1.30pm-1.45pm
Watch the notorious ‘Cork’ (the middleman between the weavers and the owners) meet his fiery demise!
Preceded by a performance from Shaun Moore.
