You'll find unusual venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity! Below you can see the typical venue sizes in Glasgow, together with the standard prices in each size range, based on Tagvenue data (October 2025):

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.
