On Friday 4th September at 7pm, The Helensburgh Pier Company and Rhu and Shandon Community Trust will be hosting a special concert at Rhu Church.
Professor Malcolm Sim, organist at Glasgow Cathedral, will be performing a programme of nautically themed favourite pieces. He is also bringing along an 8ft working model of PS Waverley!
Entry will be by donation, with proceeds towards the Rhu & Shandon Parish Church Tower Fund and Helensburgh Pier Company.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Welcome
Helensburgh Pier on the West Coast of Scotland dates from 1816 and has a long and fascinating history, playing a key role in the development of paddle steamers as a mode of transport on the Clyde and trips ‘doon the watter’.
Whilst pedestrian visitors are welcome to the stone part of the Pier, unfortunately the Pier has been closed to marine traffic since 2018. A team of local volunteers are working hard to reopen the Pier so we can provide modern accessible facilities for all marine users and welcome visitors like PS Waverley to Helensburgh once again.
Please note the Pier is currently
Closed to Marine Traffic.
Pedestrians are welcome
to visit the stone Pier and there is
step-free access to the Pier
from West Clyde Street.
