Angus Farquhar, Celebrate people celebrant, recently played a leading role in something wonderful! In the heart of Glasgow Cathedral’s crypt, something extraordinary has been re-awakened. The Wellspring — an ancient sacred spring was hiding for centuries — and has now been brought back to light through the vision of artist and Celebrate People Celebrant Angus Farquhar and his collective, Aproxima. This project is more than archaeology or art; it’s a rediscovery of Glasgow’s soul.
The Wellspring and St Kentigern (Mungo): we believe that it was the site of the first baptisms in Glasgow. For generations, it lay dormant, a “dark little circle” in the cathedral floor. Now, thanks to Angus’s work, it shines again as a symbol of rebirth, healing, and connection

When you think about our Celebrant Angus Farquhar’s Wellspring of Glasgow project — a rediscovery of heritage and renewal — it resonates beautifully with Celebrate People’s mission.
Both are about honouring the past while creating space for new meaning. The Wellspring reconnects Glasgow with its spiritual roots, while Celebrate People reconnects individuals and families with their own stories through ceremony and other services like counselling, listening, death doula and more.
Together, Angus and The Wellspring remind us that rituals matter. They give us pause, help us reflect, and allow us to celebrate what truly counts: people, community, and love.
Music and Theatre welcomed the opening of the Wellspring
