The Pavilion Theatre is a historic theatre located in the city centre of Glasgow. The theatre was first built in 1904 as a music hall and has been a popular venue for a wide range of entertainment over the years, including variety shows, pantomimes, dramas, comedies, and concerts.
The Pavilion Theatre has a distinctive Edwardian-style façade and a grand entrance foyer with a marble staircase and stained glass windows. Inside, the auditorium features ornate plasterwork and a proscenium arch stage, which has been modernized over the years to accommodate larger productions.
The theatre has a seating capacity of around 1,450, making it one of the largest entertainment venues in Glasgow. Over the years, it has hosted many famous performers, including Laurel and Hardy, Judy Garland, and Morecambe and Wise.
It remains one of the treasures of Glasgow, a genuine variety theatre, showing varied shows with literally something for everyone!
