Because Britannia Panopticon Music Hall is not open to the public on a daily basis we instead programme a range of events and shows which are appropriate to the space and compliment Britannia Music Hall's lengthy and momentous history of performance.
All the shows listed below are in Britannia Panopticon Music Hall which is accessed via the New Wynd. For events in other venues please click on the above tab titled Fund Raisers in Other Venues.
COMING SOON
Full Programme (so far) 2010
Please note there is no heating in Britannia Panopticon .
Shows in Britannia Panopticon Music Hall are generally on a free admission basis (unless otherwise stated), but we ask that visitors leave a donation to support our campaign.
Unless otherwise stated there is no need to book in advance as admission is generally on a first come first served basis for the majority of our shows. Please make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before shows start to avoid disappointment. Due to current work on the New Wynd wall of the building entrance is via the back pend - please look out for Mr Ducarr our doorman and signage.
If you are not sure where we are, please check out our map on "How to Find".
Please note that all shows and events may be subject to last minute cancellation due to ongoing work on the building (it's rare but it has happened). To make doubly sure the show you wish to attend is still on please call 0141 553 0840 for updated messages.
