Birthday Party Venues for Hire in Glasgow

Your Guide to Hiring Birthday Party Venues in Glasgow

So, what kind of trouble can a festivity-minded Glaswegian get up to around the city centre? Well, you’ve probably noticed a few pubs around. You’ll find that a respectable amount of those have private spaces for hire that you can pack with your crowd and have a proper party. If you’re looking to book something for a bigger birthday bash, how about booking a hall at one of the many hotels or sports clubs? These are used to people getting rowdy and catering to a variety of needs. Or maybe you’re looking for something a bit more unique for a momentous occasion, like an 18th birthday party? You’ve got options. How about booking something like a live karaoke so you and your friends get the star experience (and you can record some blackmail material) as you celebrate this birthday? 

The part of the city you choose to hold your party in can be as, if not more, important than the actual birthday party venue itself, so where should you start your search? If you are looking to get loud and get going, the huge Z shape created by Sauchiehall, Union and Clydeside is always worth a look to see what’s on the menu (or head on down to Ibrox, Govan and Kinning Park if you’re REALLY looking to get rowdy). If you’ve got a bit more budget to throw around or just need a bigger space, have a look west of Glasgow Central.

How do I hire a birthday party venue in Glasgow?

Booking your dream birthday party venue is easy as pie with Tagvenue! Just follow these simple steps and you’ll have a great spot in Glasgow booked before you know it:

1. Determine your budget, smartly. It’s not a good idea to put your entire birthday party budget into venue hire, unless you’re going for an all-inclusive package deal. Make sure you know how much you’ll need for other expenses and have a safety sum put away for unexpected costs. Once you know what can be put into venue hire, adjust the price brackets on our platform to find the best Glasgow spots you can afford!
2. Count your guests and figure out their needs. You can’t hire a good, fitting birthday party venue before knowing your guest list! Look for a venue that’s sized optimally for your crowd and can cater to all their needs. Are there any special dietary restrictions or accessibility requirements? You can mark your needs in the smart search filters on Tagvenue!
3. Think about the catering. If you’re going for a minimum spend or per person package option for your birthday party in Glasgow, food and drinks will be included in the price. However, if you choose a venue with hire fees, make sure you know whether you can hire external caterers or self-cater for your event.
4. Browse and compare the venues thoroughly. Look into the photos, descriptions, and reviews of all the Glasgow venues that catch your eye! They say the devil is in the details and they’re not wrong. Make sure you know which space will meet more of your requirements and fit the vibe of your birthday party best.
5. Send out enquiries and get in touch with venue managers. Just pick a few of your favourite spots in Glasgow and use the enquiry forms to contact VMs. You will be able to talk through the details, figure out the final quote, and finalise your booking all through our platform!
