About the venue

Many thanks for your enquiry and your interest in holding an event at the University of Glasgow.

Founded over 500 years ago the University of Glasgow is one of Scotland's most famous and prestigious landmarks. With venues ranging from beautiful wood panelled rooms through to grand Victorian halls and state-of-the-art seminar rooms and lecture theatres, capable of accommodating anything from 5 up to1250 delegates, we have one of the most impressive and flexible venues portfolios in the UK. What sets us apart from other venues however, other than the sheer size and scale of our portfolio of course, is the history and tradition associated with one of Scotland's most famous and prestigious landmarks. The unique architecture and atmosphere of the University of Glasgow never fails to impress and, in combining that with the flexibility and variety of our venues, we guarantee organisers and delegates will be anything other than delighted with their experience at the University of Glasgow. GLASGOW Glasgow is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities renowned for its culture and exciting social scene. The city has undergone an economic and cultural renaissance and was recently voted one of the top ten cities in the world, the only city in the UK to be ranked. Home to the architectural treasures of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, his fame draws visitors from far and wide and his distinctive style can still be appreciated in many of the city’s buildings and museums. Hailed as the dear green place, Glasgow has plenty of attractive parks, but its aesthetic standing truly rests with its buildings and the University’s main Gilmorehill campus is an iconic and integral part of the city’s skyline, centering on Sir George Gilbert Scott’s neo-gothic building. The University, voted as having the best campus in Scotland, is home to over 100 listed buildings and sits at the heart of Glasgow's cosmopolitan West End which combines the benefits and security of a campus-style environment whilst having close proximity to both vibrant city life and Scotland’s glorious countryside.
