Located in the heart of the West End, Glasgow University Union is a historic venue with impressive architecture and original features. It offers great flexibility, allowing it to be transformed into a stunning wedding venue or a professional corporate setting. Whether you're planning a large dinner event, conference, or wedding, we have extensive experience in hosting academic, corporate, and private functions.

Our venue has two spacious rooms capable of accommodating up to 200 guests for conferences, birthday parties, and evening receptions. Additionally, we offer three more intimate spaces, ensuring we have the perfect room for your event. Our bars are fully stocked with a wide selection of quality drinks, and our exceptional catering team prepares all dishes in-house. They are also adept at catering to specific requirements, whether you prefer canapés or a three-course meal.

The Reading Room offers a cosy, tranquil atmosphere which is perfect for relaxing with friends. It is often partnered with the Debates Chamber as a bar area, and is used for lunches, as a break out space for conference, or just for a get together with family or friends. The chesterfield sofas and leather chairs provide a comfortable lounge area for guests.
