Overview

The Merchant city area in general but especially the city halls has stunning architecture. I was here before for a Celtic Connections concert which was fantastic. This time it was at a conference I was attending with the GDA [Glasgow disability alliance].

Transport & Parking

I traveled in a taxi to this event, you can be dropped off immediately outside Queen Street, High Street and Argyle Street train stations are within walking distance. There are regular buses on the Trongate and Glassford Street which are nearby the venue. There is an NCP car park on Ingram Street and Albion Street.

Access

I entered the building via the Candleriggs, this entrance has automatic doors. Because I was attending the event with the GDA I had had plenty of assistance. There was also plenty of venue staff on hand so I had no problem with the internal doors.

Toilets

the toilet had bi-folding door which is excellent for saving space. The toilet was clean and tidy.

Staff

Because I was here with the GDA I didn’t have much interaction with staff. The venue staff I met seemed friendly and helpful.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

It's a great building. The old fruit market has a nostalgic feel. I will need to get back here for the Celtic connections next year
