Sma’ Shot Day

Saturday 3 July, 2021

Following the success of last year’s event, Paisley’s annual Sma’ Shot Day celebrations will once again be marked with a programme of online events in 2021 to commemorate the historic victory of local weavers.

This year’s online event will take place on Saturday 3 July – the time when the weavers and their families would traditionally take their holidays.

Enjoy some of our Sma’ Shot Day videos and activities we posted posted last year below.

Plus, remember to follow Paisley.is on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
