~ ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ~

The Arts and Entertainment scene in Glasgow is hot and happening 24/7 every day of the year. Entertaining visitors and locals come naturally, so much so that our city was awarded the title UNESCO City of Music in 2008. We can guarantee that you’ll find an event to suit your own taste and budget at any time of the year, day and night.
