The 30 Best Theater in Glasgow

“I needed to cancel my registration for a Short Course at the Conservatory and the Administrative Staff went above and beyond in helping me. They showed acts of goodwill and ensured I was satisfied with a resolution to my problem. Excellent, student - centered service!”

“Cal has a great energy and is a very good teacher. Helped me gained confidence back in acting and I have learned good skills for the future, I definitely recommend this course! Up to the next course! Juliette”

“This is one of the best places in Glasgow for young children. High quality theatre entertainment. Great show weekly, puppets and smiling faces all around. Affordable, professional and fun for whole family. Also nice coffee..”

“Movie cafe have the best vanilla in the south side of glasgow. Can’t beat it, traditional ice cream shop, not many left these days so this is definitely a hidden gem on the outskirts of glasgow. Definitely worth the travel out to Eaglesham for. Highly recommend this ice cream shop.”

“For an act that only got together 6 months ago, they were fantastic! Sing a song a tribute to the Carpenters, were stunning. A full house were thoroughly entertained with classic songs of the period by quality musicians. Thank you so much for your talented performance. ❤️”

“Absolutely incredible and unique experience. Probably best enjoyed by adults though not children and not for you if you're easily creeped out I guess. Honestly, if you do your research and understand the type of place this is and are still interested you will probably enjoy it, though art is always subjective at the end of the day. My partner and I loved it. The performance is captivating and does a great job of drawing your attention to certain sections of each piece as it plays (with the ability to look in more detail at the end) and bringing out emotions from the Soviet era. The pieces themselves are quite intricate and regardless of whether the style of the art is to your taste, I feel like the overall performance including the movement, lighting and music let's you see into the soul of the artist which in my opinion is interesting regardless of what I think about each piece personally and speaks on several levels unlike, say paintings (though those have their own appeal in a different way of course). The information about the artist and small plaques next to each piece are interesting additional info but very non intrusive so it's your choice to read it or form your own ideas. Got a bit rambly there but long story short, give it a shot if you're creatively inclined, like mechanical models or are looking for something a bit different.”

“Great theatre, - the staff are absolutely wonderful, so nice, efficient and helpful. I get a nice friendly greeting every time I go,. Great food. Lovely surroundings. Great plays, unique, interesting and thought provoking. I thoroughly recommend this theatre.”

“Fabulous school and summer camp. My daughter is absolutely thriving and has enjoyed 2 summer camps and a year of classes. A very professional dedicated staff.”

“Incredible venue, fantastic staff and exceptional performances. I have been visiting for years but I am never bored. Must see when in Glasgow for anyone visiting”

“Just seen Plaza suite and really enjoyed it. I found it funnier than the film. I will definitely be back”

“Beautiful building with all original features”

“First attended a gig by Rufus Isabel Elliot here in September 2021 and was delighted to find out there was a dedicated coworking space baked into the building. The whole place turned out to be a lovely hive of creative activity. Excited to see what happens there next.”

“SYT is amazing the staff are wonderfull so helpful the classes are so fun you don't feel judged always feel welcome”

“The owner of Claremont House B&B, Tom, is such a welcoming, helpful, and inviting host. As soon as we arrived, his warm welcome, delicious hot tea prepared for us, and the cozy, romantic aura of the house made us feel at home. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was prepared freshly that morning with options including vegetarian and traditional Scottish. Would glady stay here again and recommend it to anyone!”

“Fantastic dance school for pupils of all ages. I was a dancer at Elma Whyte Performing Arts for 20 years now and had the best experience learning ballet, tap, modern and jazz. The teachers are amazing so friendly, welcoming and dedicated to getting the best out of every pupil. With dancers going on to big things the pupils have role models to aspire to. Having exams each year has allowed me to develop as a dancer but also to gain necessary life skills. Not to mention the end of year Dance Date show, with never ending glitter, sequins and fun it is a fantastic event and showcase of the pupils hard work. I couldn't recommend a better dance school to learn from the best and make life long friends.”

“Came along to the Jaws showing, was first time at the venue and hope it won't be the last. Staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The set up for the "cinema" was brilliant with lots of wee extra bits and bobs to make the room feel special”

“The pasta made in house sooooo gooood!!! Our waitress was lovely! She gave a great drink recommendation i loved. I got the strawberry spritz? With lemonade instead of soda water. Really good! The stuffed mushrooms were delicious, and the pasta principessa was some of the best cream sauce ive ever had and the noodles have the best texture, so light and perfectly cooked! Highly recommend!!!”

“Went to the Friday show. Had a great time. I love the new place is even better than the old one!”

“Just had a fabulous morning seeing The Gift with my grandson and daughter in law! It was absolutely lovely!! The performance and the set were excellent!! I loved how they got all the children involved at the end!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Fantastic production with real enthusiasm and energy with the children.”

“Amazing place.getting drum lessons here and the mood and look of the place just boost the the feeling of it. Alan is a great cheery guy and a brilliant teacher.everything you need if you’re wanting to learn an instrument as he teaches many other things.”

“Have stayed twice in the past 6 months. Staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful. Cleanliness is to a high standard. The location is perfect for access to a bustling street Great Western Road and also Kelvinbridge Station. However within the hotel there is no traffic noise at all.”

“LMH is a great place, the staff are polite & helpful, the entertainers are always fantastic, ticket prices are very reasonable.There is a wee bar, clean toilets and it's very close to the bus & train station, there is a car park is close by as well. You can pick up a booklet with future shows advertised for the next few months, which is handy when you go to as many shows as we do. Most shows are finished by 10/10.30 and is always always a fantastic experience.”

“We were there to see The Steamie, and the staff were so helpful and cheery. Seating was comfortable and easy to access. The bar prices were reasonable. The show was fantastic.”

“This place is so charming. Such a stunning wee cinema with the loveliest staff. For a small amount more you can book the couches which are really comfy. You feel so welcomed by the staff. You'll fall in love with it. It's the only place we see films now. Thank you.”

“Great wee venue, although a bit hot with the stagelights on!”

“We had the best day at the Old Fruitmarket for our wedding ceremony on the 19th of October 2024. We both wanted to write a review to thank the amazing team there who ran our day so smoothly and let us have the most amazing time. We’d do it all again tomorrow, Samantha and Mark”

“My son has just completed 5 years at GAMTA, 2 in junior school and 3 as a full time student, graduating this week and also securing his first professional job within his chosen profession. The staff are great and the students work really hard but develop and become industry ready.”

“My dad and I came here on a Saturday night with no booking. I wouldn’t suggest that but we were lucky to be accommodated and seated right away, even though it was very busy! We got a seat in the back room, which ended up clearing out and we had all to ourselves. The ambiance is perfect with nice lighting and great tunes. We ordered two kebabs, two curries, two rices, a few drinks and a plain naan. The garlic lamb bhuna has a bit of a kick but had so much flavor, and the lamb was perfectly cooked. The railway chicken was comforting, with big pieces of chicken (flavored fairly similar to a butter chicken). Although the seekh kebab was my favorite - with peppered, tender lamb and a mint sauce paired with pickled onions and peppers! The chicken kebab was a little too chargrilled for me but still packed a punch of flavor with the same sauce. My preference for naan is to be bready and soft, while this one was a bit too crispy for me. We had a cider and lager each, then split the earl grey ginlet, which was an interesting cocktail. It had more lime than early grey but was still pleasant to try. Their cocktail selection is unique, with various options I’ve never come across before! I’ve been here a few times and the service is always great. The servers are kind and frequently check on you. I will come back again with more friends and family!”
