Went to a celebratory concert by Calum Martin. Most of the spoken parts in between the music was in Gaelic, as was the songs and music, but this didn't diminish the enjoyment for a simple non-bilingual Englishman. The venue is great, and allows the audience to be so close and nearly intimate with the stage performance. The seating was comfortable and afforded good leg room. The bar staff were incredibly efficient, polite and helpful. The ticket reception likewise suggested I may be eligible for a concession price (and I was!), so grateful for that. The inside theatre staff, and unseen crew made the whole experience great for me, as well as the performers did. Thoroughly recommend this venue.

It can't be because of credit card charges as box office only has a £5 minimum, hence the profiteering tag. Respond to this when you remove this idiotic restriction and I will come back. Until then, you will not see me. Will leave the original review below. Always enjoy going to An Lanntair. The is a good range of events and activities and the cafe is excellent both in choice and quality. A great place to meet people, have business meeting or at work. Only negative is that the entrance and cafe can be cold...

To be told that they weren’t serving evening meals and to make matters worse they implied we had made a mistake. We my friend and I booked all our evening meals for our stay in Stornaway on that day in May. Every other establishment had the correct booking but An Lanntair said they didn’t get the booking which was untrue. They could have easily told us that they weren’t serving evening meals which they didn’t or phone to cancel booking. We were disappointed and annoyed by our treatment...
