Glasgow Events

Up to date as of 25/08/2026!

STL events in Glasgow bring the community together in local spaces, with recurring events centring on creativity and safety for trans people.
The Library collection can also be borrowed from or viewed at all of our events.

Ongoing

We run a recurrent event at The Portal Arts in Govan on Tuesday nights. We take 2 weeks off every 3 months, so check the Instagram for this and other special events.

Dinner and a Movie

Every other Tuesday 6:00pm-9:00pm
The Portal Arts, Govan
We watch a movie and eat some vegan food cooked by our community. It is relaxed, friendly & free. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
We post which film we are showing in advance of every event on our Instagram, and allergens are provided on the day.
Trans people only.

Govan Queer Space

Small Trans Library hosts GQS, a trans led event for any queer person to attend. Chill social time with board games and tea. Vegan meals also available.
GQS is available to support queer people to do other things, like DIY classes, sign making, meetings, etc, so get in touch if you think we can help you host something.
