00:00 So this event came about about three years ago.
00:02 So when the pandemic hit, one of the things that the council did was close off Kelvin
00:07 Way to allow people to walk in the open air and a wee bit more space.
00:11 And when that happened, what it did was it kind of created a really interesting space
00:17 as well.
00:18 And being in the events industry for, you know, 40 years, almost, I thought it'd be
00:22 brilliant to put something here.
00:24 I spoke to Jory, who's my fellow co-owner at Big Feed, and we came up with the idea
00:29 of having Big Feed here and all the street food traders and then entertainment.
00:34 So we've been running a Big Feed food market through in Govan for a number of years.
00:40 And so this was almost like Big Feed on stilts.
00:43 You know, just do it bigger, do it better, you know, in terms of more variety of food
00:50 and just have more people along.
00:52 So that was the concept.
00:53 But the interesting thing here is this has never been done before.
00:55 So you're certainly playing events in the bandstand and there's things that have happened
00:59 out on the road, but they've never closed Kelvin Way at all.
01:03 So it's a bit of a test event really for the council as well.
01:06 And they're really keen to see how this works, you know.
01:09 And what better way to do it than Big Feed because we're all about local people, local
01:13 community.
01:14 It's a low cost ticket price.
01:15 Ticket price includes all the kids activities, your face painting and balloon modelling,
01:19 arts and crafts.
01:20 So it's a kind of low cost entry event aimed at families and the local people in Glasgow.
01:27 Right, come on, I'll show you around.
01:29 Let's go.
01:30 So this is Zippy and our lovely box office staff who are looking after everybody when
01:35 they turn up.
01:36 So they'll be here all weekend and they'll look after the people when they come in.
01:40 Right, come on, let's go and see the markets.
01:42 So we partner with various people.
01:45 We like partnerships and we've got lots of good partnerships.
01:48 So we've got a market company here who have brought in all the traders they work with.
01:51 So a bit like Big Feed does the food, we've got market friends who will do, bring in the
01:59 market stalls.
02:00 So let's go and have a look at some of the stuff we're selling if you want to see that.
02:03 Things we wanted to focus on with the market was that we wanted it to be, have a real kind
02:07 of Glasgow and kind of Scottish feel about it.
02:09 So no doubt you'll pick some of the things up on the stalls that are, you know, that
02:14 wee bit more Glaswegian.
02:16 And where possible we try to make sure that we've got, we try and make sure that we've
02:20 got, as I say, local people, local traders.
02:23 And that's important, you know, it's important for us as a business because we're local business
02:26 people, you know, we live in the area and it's also important, you know, from a city
02:30 point of view that we're boosting and making sure that local artists are doing things.
02:35 So and getting a chance to come and sell their wares.
02:38 So as you can see here, we've got our lovely market traders who are coming in and we'll
02:45 get Sandra's Sun Catchers.
02:48 We've got quite a, we've got quite a big thing about dogs.
02:52 Big Feeds is really dog friendly actually, you know, we've always been dog friendly in
02:55 everything we do.
02:57 So you'll probably see that there's lots of things in here, you know, for various different
03:00 dogs and leads and...
03:11 Doggy bow ties.
03:12 Doggy, doggy bow ties.
03:13 Doggy bow ties, what dog doesn't need a bow tie?
03:16 So yeah, so everything here, you know, from, as I say, cosmetics, you know, handcrafted,
03:23 you know, wood sculptures, there's, you know, bags, lots and bits of pieces.
03:29 So we've kind of came through the entrance, we've had a wee look at the market stalls,
03:33 things actually are just starting to kind of open up, you know, so the doors are just
03:36 opened and people are starting to come in.
03:38 Anyway, we're now going to look at some of the food, if you want to do that.
03:42 So we've got a selection of food operators, street food vendors from all over Scotland.
03:50 They travel from everywhere and they'll cover a whole range of food.
03:56 So we'll cover everything from Thai, we've got pizza, we've got brownies, we've got stuffed
04:00 cookies, we've got Caribbean food, you know, so we've got a whole range.
04:05 So why don't we go and make a pizza?
