Glasgow City Halls
City Halls is the oldest purpose built performance and meeting space in Glasgow and recently underwent an extensive £15 million redevelopment which has enhanced the beauty of the original features whilst maximising and modernising the Halls’ excellent multi-purpose facilities.
The venue lies right in the heart of the Merchant City, Glasgow’s arts and culture quarter and is suitable for:
• Banquets
• Concerts
• Conferences
• Standing Receptions
The Grand Hall is a lavish formal auditorium with world-renowned acoustics, raked seating and balcony. It offers the perfect setting for formal awards ceremonies and presentations. The Grand Hall seats up to 936 delegates and you can rest assured that every one of them will have a good sightline to the stage, whilst sitting in comfort.
The Recital Room is a bright , self contained rectangular room which can host a conference for up to 120 delegates. There is no fixed staging, allowing you to customise the layout to suit your needs. The Recital Room is also a very popular venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions.
