Weddings, private events, bars and dining, it’s what they do. Perhaps what they do best is put on some of the best entertainment in the west end, in the surroundings of a stunning atmospheric building.

With a capacity to seat over 14,000 people, the OVO HYDRO in Glasgow may just pop up on your list of “must visits” at some point.
