FAQs about Top Unusual Venues in Glasgow
The cost of unusual venues in Glasgow averages around £29 per person. The final price will depend on location, size, amenities, and demand. Some venues also offer additional packages that include catering, AV equipment, or additional services. Take a look at the usual price ranges in Glasgow, based on Tagvenue data:
| From £25 | to £45 | per person |
| From £250 | to £1500 | minimum spend per event |
| From £250 | to £500 | hire fee per day |
An unusual venue could be a historical landmark, a unique restaurant setting, or even an industrial warehouse, offering a surprising and memorable backdrop for your event. Choosing one of these venues for your event in Glasgow involves focusing on a few key factors:
- Degree of Uniqueness: How different do you want your venue to be? If you are comfortable with a venue that may require you to be highly flexible and imaginative in your event planning, then you will find many unusual venues that please you. If you take a more traditional approach, you may want to consider how much time it will take you to organise an event in an ‘unusual’ space and reduce your expectations.
- Venue Type: Define the nature of your event and ensure the venue complements your desired atmosphere and theme. Imagine a romantic wedding in a historic mansion with elegant furnishings reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice. Or launch your app in a luxurious modern space with touches of burnished steel and glass.
- Capacity and Layout: Assess the venue's capacity to comfortably accommodate your guest list and evaluate its layout to meet your event's logistical needs. Don’t try to save money by choosing the wrong sized space.
- Location: Choose a venue conveniently located with easy access for your guests, considering transportation options and parking availability.
- Amenities and Services: Confirm that the venue offers essential amenities such as audiovisual equipment, catering services, and any additional services you may require.
Choosing a unique venue in Glasgow injects your event with loads of character and a splash of excitement. Here are a few unusual venues that are recommended by our users:
- The Red Bus Bistro - This vintage London bus converted into a restaurant tours Glasgow daily, offering wedding packages accommodating up to 35 people for between £550 to £2000.
- Bridge Gardens - This refurbished warehouse in Whiteinch accommodates up to 2000 people, featuring striking architectural design and modern conferencing technology. Full-day hire costs £2500.
- The Savings Bank - This distinctive hall that was originally built as a bank in Glasgow's East End is ideal for events hosting up to 250 guests. It is available for a £100 per hour.
