The Mackintosh Halls

The Mackintosh Halls provide a distinctive event setting in Glasgow’s Maryhill area, combining practical facilities with the character of a historic church building. The venue is available for organisers looking for space for community gatherings, private celebrations, meetings, workshops, talks, family occasions and other local events.

The halls include both a large hall and a smaller hall, giving organisers flexibility when planning different group sizes or separating activities. Kitchen facilities are also available, which can be useful for refreshments, shared meals, buffets and community-led catering arrangements. The building’s traditional architecture and connection with Charles Rennie Mackintosh give it a memorable identity that sets it apart from standard modern function rooms.

The venue is operated by Maryhill Ruchill Church of Scotland and forms part of the church’s wider role in supporting the surrounding community. Alongside worship, the building hosts regular activities for children, teenagers, families and older people, creating an informal and welcoming atmosphere. Organisers can therefore consider the halls for a broad range of purposes, from local clubs and classes to social events, talks, receptions and faith-based gatherings.

Located on Shakespeare Street, the halls are accessible from Maryhill Road and benefit from their position in north-west Glasgow. The venue team can provide information about availability, room hire and access to the facilities. Event organisers planning a wedding, funeral, baptism, community function or private gathering can contact the church directly to discuss their requirements and arrange the most suitable space.
