Amenities
Summary
A historic events venue at Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow. One of the most prestigious period event spaces in the Merchant City — the former Royal Exchange building, now housing the Gallery of Modern Art at street level.
About this location
The Exchange Glasgow is at Royal Exchange Square — built in 1829 as the Royal Exchange (trading floor) on the site of a William Cunninghame mansion, later serving as the city’s commercial exchange. The building now houses the Gallery of Modern Art at ground level. Royal Exchange Square itself is one of Glasgow’s principal civic spaces — a formal square with the Exchange building at one end and access to Buchanan Street and the Merchant City grid. The events hire spaces within the building give productions access to a 19th-century commercial-exchange interior within Glasgow’s most formally planned civic square. For productions requiring a formal Glasgow civic or institutional interior, the Royal Exchange building is a specific and historically significant option.
