I recommend not buying tickets in advance because of parking. I didn't get to go in because I couldn't get coin change anywhere and the Ringo parking app doesn't work on US phones. Essentially Americans are "played" by this multi national parking conglomerate. Nonetheless I couldn't leave so I just kept driving around within eyeshot of this landmark and stopping here and there to pray. Legally to stop rather than park you need to be stopping to do something. I'm not sure if stopping to pray is something the government agents (corporate big brother) recognizes as valid. But to me it's essential!

Beautiful historic venue. The space is absolutely beautiful and great for all types of events and it is full of hidden places you wouldn't expect to find. The ceiling is adorned with wonderfully decorated features and the main hall will have you feeling like you're in a ball room. Fantastic space for a ceilidh, but equally as good for a gala. There are plenty of bars in the building to accommodate a large number of people. One of the most ideal places to hold an event in Glasgow.

This former church now turned art centre is a fantastic building set in a fine square in the heart of Glasgow City Centre near Glasgow Cross. Built in the 18th century it must have been a powerful symbol of the church and God's might, but like a lot of churches it fell into disrepair and was subsequently taken over by the City. I have never been inside but you have to admit from the outside it's breathtaking.

I was here for an archaelogy talk and found the venue beautiful. The seats provided were a little uncomfortable, hence the 4 star rating. But a good venue, excellent surroundings and fabulous surroundings.

Really nice place, old church repurposed for "things"...(TBH I'm not sure what, I was there for a concert...has bar, overpriced IMHO but no worse than anywhere else)

It is a good looking building, but it was closed when we were there and could not enter. We did take a load of pictures.
