Centuries in the making

Make history with a Neoclassical landmark

A Glasgow icon

Nestled within the grandeur of the Merchant City

Dating all the way back to 1844, the rich history of Citation contributes to its vibrance and rusticity. Originally the Sheriff Court building designed by Clarke & Bell in the mid-19th century, the breathtaking features were retained during redevelopment 160 years later.‍

Sandstone columns dominate the particularly prominent B-listed exterior, dressed in fairy lights to delicately illuminate a picture-perfect atmosphere.

Today, Citation plays host to exclusive hire events of all styles. As a unique wedding venue or a versatile event venue in Glasgow — you’ll be sure to make history with us here.
