Events and Season Tickets
Please read the Terms & Conditions before applying and only select the date of an event that you can attend. The Ferguson Bequest Committee can only justify purchasing tickets if they are used!
If you wish to purchase further tickets for an extended number of your party, you can do so via the official ticket vendors (if available). Please contact the Ferguson Bequest administrator, Sarah Finlayson, via a message on Teams or by emailing fergusonbequest@glasgow.ac.uk for more information on season ticket seating location.

Lunchtime Craft Workshop: Disco Frames in collaboration with Braw Wee Craft Club
The Braw Wee Craft Club will be running a Disco Frame workshop and will be on hand to help you make a mirrored mosaic frame, using different coloured mirrored tiles. Light lunch will also be provided. The workshop will be available between 12 and 2pm, although one hour minimum is advised.
To register your interest, complete the form and you will be emailed directly to confirm if your booking is successful (submitting the form does not guarantee a place so please do not attend unless you have confirmation!). Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are offered a space and do not respond by the deadline stated in the confirmation email, the space will be offered to another colleague. Spaces are non-transferable and should not be passed to another person or another staff member.
Lunchtime Craft Workshop: Screen Print your own Tote Bag in collaboration with Print Clan
Participants are invited to enjoy a delicious lunch and take part in this unique and traditional artform, all guided by an expert. No prior experience needed!
You'll start with a series of drawing exercises to help prepare your personal design for print. Then, try your hand at the traditional screen printing craft process using paper stencils, blank screens and your choice of ink, taking home a bespoke printed tote bag.
Light lunch will also be provided. The workshop will be available between 12noon and 2pm, and Print Clan have suggested that attending for the full 2 hours provides the best experience.

Pavilion Pantomime Group Tickets
Colleagues can apply for tickets for their teams to the panto as a festive treat! Teams can enter a draw to win up to 40 tickets for their team. There is no minimum number that can apply. The Pavilion are going to do their best to seat people together but larger groups may be split!
Anyone can nominate their team – just make sure you have your line manager’s approval before submitting an entry, as it will mean an afternoon out of the office!
To enter, line managers or their nominee should complete the entry form, indicating how many tickets their team would require for the show. One entry per team please. Please only apply for tickets if you will definitely attend. There have been a large number of events offered to colleagues this year, with staff then rejecting the tickets, and they go to waste. We cannot justify the purchase of tickets if this continues to happen, so please do reach out to your teams and make sure they can attend before you apply, please.
Winners will be selected at random and contacted via email following the draw.
This draw is for groups of staff only. Any travel or additional costs would not be covered by the Ferguson Bequest. Names will be drawn at random and successful applicants will be contacted following the draw. Please note your name will be passed to the Pavilion Theatre (Trafalgar Tickets) Box Office using the University File Transfer. You must show your staff card to collect tickets. Winners will be required to provide names and GUID of attending staff in advance of the performance.
