Merchant Square

Located on Candleriggs at the heart of the Merchant City, Glasgow’s cultural, fashion and food quarter, Merchant Square offers an eclectic selection of restaurants and bars. Once part of the old Glasgow Fruit Market, Merchant Square is imbued with the history of the area’s dominating Victorian architecture, although today this sense of history blends seamlessly with the distinctly cosmopolitan ambiance that pervades the surrounding cobbled streets that bring the outside in.

Merchant Square plays host to many different styles of events namely festivals, conference dinners and ceilidhs, award ceremonies and the annual Hogmanay Party every year. With a capacity of up to 2200 guests and seating for around 1200 in all venues, Merchant Square is a blank canvas for any style of event.  Fully catered by the surrounding venues with a hands on experienced events team and a full AV package, you need look no further than Merchant Square for your event requirements.

Merchant Square is an ideal space for filming and radio opportunities as well as having a great interior for fashion shoots, product launches and much more.

One ideal scenario for your conference or corporate event is our informal networking buffet dinner and party for up to 1500 guests.  Having hosted around 50 of these type of events, Merchant Square is your ‘go to’ event space in the centre of Glasgow.
