Welcome to Geek Planet CIC!

North Glasgow’s home for creativity, connection, and all things geek!

Founded in 2025 by Frank McGowan, Martin Griffith and Emma Newlands, Geek Planet is a social enterprise and community interest company based in the heart of Springburn Town Centre. Our mission is simple: to use creativity, play, and shared passions to bring people together, reduce isolation, and support wellbeing through the power of geek culture.

From tabletop gaming and comic books to film, cosplay, and digital media, we celebrate the things that make us all a little geeky — and we believe those shared interests can help build stronger, more inclusive communities.

Inside Geek Planet, you’ll find:

  • 🎮 A community café with gluten-free and coeliac-friendly options.
  • 📚 A free-to-play gaming and comic library for all ages.
  • 🎨 Workshops and events designed to boost creativity, confidence, and digital skills.
  • 🏛️ A heritage and pop culture museum celebrating Scotland’s creative legacy.
  • 🎧 A podcast and media studio giving local voices a platform to shine.

We’re proud to work alongside schools, colleges, charities, and local organisations to make Springburn a hub of creativity, inclusion, and opportunity. Whether you’re here to play, learn, create, or just connect, Geek Planet CIC is your space to belong.

Join us on this exciting journey — because at Geek Planet, everyone’s a little geeky, and that’s something to celebrate!

Every roll of the dice sparks imagination, friendship, and change.
