Party venue for 70th

[IBontherocks]

My Mum is from Glasgow and misses it badly. She has not been too well the last year so we wanted to have a big surprise party for her birthday with about 50 - 70 people and a ceilidh. We want to hire a byo venue, maybe on West side or central as her family are near there. All ideas very gratefully received.

Any of the family got an in with a bowling club in the area?

I was going to suggest bowling clubs too.

Lots in the West End - St Vincent for eg: www.stvincentbowlingclub.com/function-hall.html

I think they'd want you to use their bar though.

Maybe try church halls too?

Partick Burgh Halls say you can use your own caterer: glasgowvenuehire.org.uk/pages/venue-details.aspx?vid=8

Excellent! Thank you so, so much. Will take a look at those.

Hillhead Rugby Club?

Thanks so much. I called st Vincent's but no little ones allowed and kids have to leave Hillhead by 10. Am waiting to hear if Partick will let us byo.

I was looking for a venue with the same requirements as you a while ago and it's the BYOB that's an issue. Try the well-know scout hall in the west end - maybe Kelbourne St? Also, Catholic Church halls will let you hire a bar or BYOB whereas Church of Scotland don't allow alcohol. If you give up onBYOB, try Sloans in the city centre. Reasonable room hire rates and they run a weekly ceilidh so they know the drill. Good luck.

Pollokshaws burgh hall?

Thanks Agent and trixy. Will try those next. Reason for Byo is that DH works in alcohol business so much, much cheaper and better usually to byo for parties due to discount - we are v lucky people!

Hi trixy. Pollokshaws can do the date and is perfect. All booked. Thank you very much!!! My Mum is going to love it!!!

Fab. I hope you all have a lovely party. Xx
