Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival - SHARMANKA VISIT

As part of the Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival visit, you will have an opportunity to explore our gallery and learn about Sharmanka's history. You will also be treated to a mini-show of three of Sharmanka's artworks as a glimpse into its theatrical experience.

SHARMANKA is one of the most popular and unique attractions in Glasgow. It has been entertaining and enthralling its audiences for over three decades since the original opening in 1989.  Sharmanka features an extensive collection of kinetic (moving) sculptures assembled from found objects, beautiful scrap and exquisitely hand carved characters.  Each one of these ‘kinemats’ is fused with synchronised soundtrack and bespoke lighting design.  The artworks are layered with cross-cultural stories and mesmerising visuals loved across all generations. 

• This visit is not one of Sharmanka's full shows. Whilst running a programme of free visits as part of the Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival in the mornings & early afternoons,  Sharmanka will also continue its operation of scheduled performances with a paid entry in the late afternoons & evenings. For full time table please visit our BOX OFFICE.
• Maximum 4 passes per booking. 
• As part of the Sharmanka experience you will be required to move around the performance space. However, seating is available in some sections of the gallery. Additional, lightweight stools can be supplied upon request.
