Monday, 13 February, 2017


Hey you guys - it’s time to look out your puffball skirts and shell suits and jump inside a Delorean as we head back to the 80s at the Auld Kirk Museum.

This totally awesome free exhibition at the Kirkintilloch museum explores and celebrates the best of 80s culture through toys, video games, fashion, film, music, and more.

Join us for a wander around the decade that brought us mullets, big hair, the Rubik Cube, leg warmers, the Walkman and of course Mario and Sonic.

There will be lots to see and do for the whole family including the chance to play with iconic 80s toys and video games, dress up stuff and even the chance to play your own cheesy pop songs on our cool record player.

Councillor Anne Jarvis, Chair of East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust, said, “Back to the 80s is a look back at one of the most exciting and colourful decades of the 20th century.

“Come along and step back to the 80s with us.”

Back to the 80s opened on Saturday 11 February and runs until Thursday 23 March. It’s open every week - Tuesday to Saturday - from 10am-1pm and 2-5pm.
