Full venue detailsAnnanhill Golf Club is a lovely well run club set just a short distance from the A77 motorway just a half hour drive from Glasgow airport and fifteen minutes from Prestwick airport and a short drive from the town of Kilmarnock. The clubhouse is on one level with stairs to the front and on the other side of the stairs is a wheelchair ramp and two sets of doors takes you into the function suite which has a capacity of 80/90 people and with a wooden dance floor its ideal for parties. When I was last there the kitchen had just been refitted and the staff I found to be warm and friendly, can make you anything from a finger buffet to a hot meal. Overall a nice golf club which I would give ten out of ten and I'm looking forward to going back to as a golfer or as an entertainer.
Full venue detailsPopular city centre venue with several rooms, of which I have been in two of them as an entertainer and also a guest, both suites are at the bottom of two flights of stairs with no wheelchair access, the big suite is the night club which can be hired till 12 and then they let the public in, room 2 is called the gold room and holds about 80, and benefits from its own bar, the managers were friendly and helpful
Full venue detailsBellahouston Bowling Club is set within Bellahoustan Park at the start of Dumbreck Road, Just off the motorway and Paisly Road in South West Glasgow, and not far from Ibrox Football Stadium if your looking for a landmark. Is a bit tricky to find because its set in a park and it has two bowling clubs in its grounds, and even with the benefit of Sat-Nav its hard to find because its to be found up a path and in the grounds, but when you get to the top of the path which opens into a good sized car park you are met with a modern bowling club which is wheel chair friendly. The function suite is very cosy and has the bar in the same room and the staff are warm and friendly; there is a small kitchen but most people bring there own buffet.
Full venue detailsBellfield Community Centre is situated in Kilmarnock's south side and close to motorway links and not far from Prestwick International Airport with train and bus links the busy centre is well used by the local community. The large hall lends itself to a variety of uses - weddings, dances and children's parties. The centre has its own kitchen and its own spacious car park, and the venue is wheel-chair friendly and the staff were warm and helpful.
Full venue detailsAs someone who used to live round the corner to the complex I found it to be an excellent addition to the area because although there are several venues nearby this one is more child friendly and not as big as the main community centre on Castle milk drive, although the staff who were friendly and helpful could not supply a buffet but were happy to recommend local caterers and Chinese delivery.
Full venue detailsBishopbriggs Scout Hall is on Kenure Drive, just behind Bishopbriggs Cross which is handy for bus and train links. Apparently the club was started in the 30/40s and it looks like it was built along with the surrounding estate, and its popular with local people for weddings dances and children parties. Its a quaint old hall and the main hall is the size of a badminton court it has its own kitchen. Most people bring in a buffet and there are loads of food outlets round the corner. The car park only holds about four cars and there is no wheel-chair access.
Full venue detailsBlackhill bowling club is set just of the main A-80 Cumbernauld Rd in Tay Crescent. It is a lovely well run club which has almost become like a local community centre with line dancing classes on a Wednesday afternoon and a regular cabaret once a month. Unfortunately the club is not very wheelchair friendly although there is a door that the staff and entertainment use that the staff will open for giving you access to the main suite.
Full venue detailsA hall on the corner of Boyndie St and Aberdalgie Rd in the heart of the Easterhouse is a small community hall, well used by the locals and staffed with local people, very child friendly for people that don't want to go to the town for a function, there is a bus service that goes by the front door and I mean a front door because the venue is like two houses knocked into one, and there is also a rail link fairly close.
Full venue detailsBased just off the A706 on Linlithgow Rd and also kown as the Fisons Club after a local factory is a well used club providing a service to the local community, as you arrive just down the side street takes you into a fairly large car park the entrance to the venue is on the main rd and there is also wheelchair ramp to the side which takes you into the main room with its own bar, but no on site catering.
Full venue detailsBo'ness Town Hall is located within Glebe Park on Stewart Avenue and is popular for weddings, its a bit tricky to find even with a Sat-Nav but when you get there you will find a beautiful old B listed building which benefits from a wheel chair ramp with a band stand in the grounds which makes for a nice photo shoot and its covered which helps with our unpredictable weather, it also has a large car park that will take a coach. The main hall is huge and is great for the bigger Scottish ceilidh type weddings where you can swing your partner, on the downside the bar is outside the room and catering has to be done through the local council.
Full venue detailsBased just behind Bishopbriggs Cross and down a one way under a railway bridge which looks like its heading into an Industrial area, its a wee bit tricky to find at first, is a well known local social club which is well run, for a club they have AV facilities and an excellent catering service. I have been an entertainer and a guest at a wedding and the staff were switched on and very attentive, the club also has a fair sized car park and is wheel chair friendly.

Full venue detailsCrosshouse bowing club is to be found just a few streets of the B-751 and its a bit tricky to find even with a Sat-Nav, its a local club with very limited parking and most people that use it are local to it, the main room is almost medieval with exposed oak beams, when I was there last year it was a beautiful summer night and the staff opened the fire door to the function room so that people could walk outside and sit on the benches outside, the function suite benefits from having the bar and the kitchen in the same room the kitchen can be used or the staff will prepare a buffet for you. Never noticed any wheelchair access though, and not a lot of parking spaces available either.
Full venue detailsDalry is a lovely old bowling club, which is quite hard to find even with Sat-Nav, because it is an ex council venue and its in the local park so the sat-nav takes you to the main road, I had to ask a local policeman to find it but!!!! the locals know where it is, Its privately owned now and has had a recent refurbish with a new dance floor and a new lowered ceiling with some nice down-lighters, the suite benefits from the bar and the kitchen the same room and the staff are friendly and helpful if you need a buffet they will make it for you or recommend a local take away, never saw any wheel chair access and the car park is quite small.

Full venue detailsOf all the Marriott Hotels in the UK Glasgow is my favourite, and I have stayed in a few of them Including Marble Arch London and Swindon. When it first opened in Glasgow it was as a Holiday Inn and it was Glasgow's first five star hotel. There are other hotels but this was the first one with a leisure club, a car park and a ballroom with a proper stage. So from a business point of you it ticks all the boxes. It is only 10 miles from Glasgow airport 25 from Prestwick and 40 miles fro Edinburgh and an International rail link within 5 minutes walking distance. The hotel has had a multi million pound face lift and the rooms are well appointed with flat screen TV's and free WiFi, it has a bar and restaurant where you can order just a coffee or a club sandwich or even a proper meal, and if its night time entertainment you want then a ten minute walk in to Glasgow city centre finds you in theatre land, or a short taxi trip of about a mile takes you to the SSEC Hydro, voted the UK's 2nd best live venue with the O2 in London taking first place.
