Venue Hire

The Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour - an unusual venue ideal for stimulating your guests' imagination!

The Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour is Glasgow's most unusual venue for corporate entertaining. Built at the turn of the century on the River Clyde when Glasgow was recognised as the Second City of the Empire and is now the only Clydebuilt sailing ship still afloat in the UK now fully restored.

The Tall Ship offers you the unique combination of a 19th century sailing cargo ship with modern facilities for conferences and banqueting with an authentic atmosphere and the drama of life at sea. Enjoy the unique riverside setting ( floodlit in the evening ), before going below decks to dine or entertain.

The Tall Ship can accommodate up to 216 people for dining, 350 for a reception or 200 for a conference. When you choose The Tall Ship for your special event, the Ship is exclusively yours for the day or evening.

The space is very flexible and allows organisers to use imagination and flair to 'wow' their guests. Guests can browse the onboard exhibitions or enjoy the riverside sunset from the main deck. Your guests are free to explore The Tall Ship while our catering company, Sodexho Prestige, provide all the facilities and services needed to make your event a success.

The Tall Ship is situated on the River Clyde just 5 minutes from the M8 motorway, 15 minutes from Glasgow City Centre, and 25 minutes from Glasgow Airport. It is also within minutes walking distance from the SECC and Crown Plaza Hotel. Free parking is provided in front of the Pumphouse visitor centre.
