Renfrewhire’s culture champions and event organisers showed their support for Paisley’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid as the town celebrated its first 2021 weekend – Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 February - this year.
Passionate culture enthusiasts joined in the cultural conversation - the first of many public engagement sessions for the town - and even brought along personal objects that represent what makes Paisley to them.
