Description
The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre is an enormous venue, spanning 64 acres on the banks of the River Clyde, and accessible via its own low-level train station. With over 22,000 square metres of usable space, it hosts concerts, exhibitions and conferences of all sizes. It also welcomes circuses, fun-fairs and a host of other one-off entertainment events.
Its distinctive 'armadillo' building (officially called the Clyde Auditorium) is an incredible feat of architecture and a credit to Glasgow. It seats 3,000, is fully-equipped and boasts impeccable acoustics. Alternatively, the SECC can cater for a capacity of up to 10,000 in another of its halls or a smaller affair of 600 in the more intimate Lomond suite. There are restaurants, a hotel, business centres, a bank and medical services available. There is almost nothing that cannot be done here - except have a look around the armadillo if you are not attending an event there.
