πŸ‘πŸ‘ Absolutely stunning place, really takes you back in time to 19th century. The fact that it's not very renovated only adds to the charm of this place. Glasgow's hidden gem. Tickets for shows are around 7 pounds. Definitely worth checking out. People often mention great,

    Lovely, Interesting building part of Glasgow's history. Good atmosphere and people that run it are doing a great job keeping it going... it would be great for this building to have an injection of funding.... had a fun night...

    Amazing place! It looks like from a vintage movie! I went to the Rocky Horror Show screening and was one of the most fun and special experiences in this city

    I absolutely love the ambience, the queerness and the retro-ness of this place. The whole space looks like a movie set for a thriller taking place in an unidentifiable but heavily aesthetic time in the past. The service is excellent, the shows are great Looking forward to going again!

    What a fantastic place full of Glasgow history. One of the gems of Glasgow and well worth a visit if your in Glasgow. Walk down the lane open the grey door just walk up stairs to top level. When you open the door you can just imagine how this place would look full with artists from the time. Lots great historical products on walls its a different from the typical thatres in Glasgow. The images taken April 2018.

    This has to be one of the best pantomimes ever. Our family had a great day. Hayley (8) and sister Courtney (6) travelled from the East Coast for their 1st pantomime and they had a great time with cousin Macy (7). The cast were fabulous and they made us all laugh. We didn't notice that the hall has no heating, but blankets were available for those who wanted one. Tickets booked for Jack and the Beanstalk 2020. Can't wait.

    Don't ever believe the tales of those "good old days" , but do read "Midnight Scenes And Social Photographs" it will open your eyes to what life really was in the heyday of the BP. Do visit & do support!

    The oldest musical Hall in Britain and the stage where Laurel from Laurel and Hardy first performed! Sadly, it's been badly neglected and is just a dark, hollow shell of its former glory - it's really too bad it has not been recognized as the historic landmark that it is and restored ☹️

    A small place with bags of character. Engaging staff who are eager to enlighten you about the history of the place. I took my 6 year old son for a visit and the staff was brilliant engaging with him on his level and making the visit a very special memory for him.
