Take Charge Thursday.

Welcome to our new project, where we invite local artists and supporters of Paisley to a guest slot on our Instagram feed.

Looking forward to working with the diverse local artists and talents who live, work and support Paisley and wider Renfrewshire, making it a thriving, positive community.

For artists interested in featuring on our Instagram page, please email us at picturingpaisley@gmail.com

Spring, at last…

Spring has indeed arrived in Paisley, bringing a delightful renewal and warmth. The air is no longer frigid, and the last remnants of snow in the mountains have melted away. The birds have returned, serenading us with their morning chorus. I even had the pleasure of spotting a shy jay up close as it hopped onto the bird feeder—a rare sight! 🌸🐦

There’s even more to celebrate in the heart of Paisley town centre this season. The Spring Farmyard Trail is underway, featuring ten animals that have left their farmyards to graze in town. The farmer needs our help to find them all! 🐄🐑🐖

To participate, pick up a trail leaflet from the Piazza Shopping Centre or the Paisley Shopping Centre, or download your copy from the Paisley First website. As you explore, keep an eye out for these friendly farmyard creatures. When you reach the last participating business, Kettle Black, beside County Square, you’ll receive a free crème egg as a sweet reward. Don’t forget to drop your completed entry form into one of the special Farmyard post boxes in the shopping centres to win one of two bumper Spring Hampers! 🥚🌼

So let’s embrace the season, enjoy the fresh air, and make the most of this delightful Spring in Paisley! 🌱🌞
