Platform – Flexible Event Space
With seven years of experience hosting dynamic and experiential gatherings in Glasgow, Platform has become the city’s most flexible venue. With central transport links right on its doorstep, the location boasts beautiful industrial architecture and six red brick archway rooms that offer a blank canvas, making it ideal for a wide variety of occasions.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale occasion, Platform is the perfect space to suit your needs. Our iconic venue speaks for itself, so let’s dive in and explore some of the high-profile gatherings we’ve hosted over the last month at Platform:
Inverarity Morton EVOLUTION ‘24
Scotland’s largest immersive trade event, hosted by Inverarity Morton at Platform Glasgow, was one to remember. This large-scale brand experience for the Scottish licensed on-trade saw brands including Madri, Patron, Kraken, Staropramen, Jose Cuervo, Thatcher’s, and many more showcase product portfolios to the hospitality industry!
Our arches provided a setting for Industry professionals to network with peers, brand representatives, and thought leaders. The day also offered the opportunity for attendees to explore innovative, premium brands that are making waves in the drinks industry, and learn about market trends. The annual event saw a full venue takeover of 1,900 attendees with expansive production in each archway providing immersive activations for the licensed trade to enjoy. These included 360 cameras, in depth presentations, interactive guest sessions with drinks ambassadors, tastings, games, and even live performances, resulting in a truly memorable event for all attendees.
Freshers Festival 2024
Freshers Festival returned once again to Platform for their annual exhibition, where our industrial venue’s high capacity was well utilised as over 6,000 attendees were welcomed throughout the day to the largest student event and digital community in the UK.
Platform’s expansive and versatile space allowed the city’s newest batch of students to engage with their favourite high street brands and local businesses, which will define the next few years of their studies in Glasgow.
Brand activations included Pure Gym fitness, Barrhead Travel, restaurant group Bar Burrito, soft drink Irn Bru, Skiddle, Oh Polly, and Royal Mail. All these household brands flocked to Platform to offer students a taste of food and drink, big competitions, games, and unbeatable discounts all tailored to students on their products and services.
With queues out the door, this busy event with Glasgow’s next student cohort allowed brands to capture the attention and gain brand loyalty with activations that will stay in students’ minds for years to come.
George Leslie 60th Anniversary Event
Glasgow-born business, George Leslie, celebrated its 60th anniversary at Platform with a celebration for all stakeholders and employees. The multi-million-pound civil engineering company marked their milestone by using the world-class audiovisuals and contemporary lighting setups Platform offered to transform their event into a celebration fit for the occasion.
The party boasted arcade games, top-tier food and drink, dancing, and, as is always guaranteed at Platform, a truly great time.
Equator Summer Staff Party
Office parties don’t need to be boring and the Equator Summer Staff get together proved just that! Our venue was transformed into a high energy carnival party, complete with a saxophone player, glitter bar, drag acts and live performances. The creative agency invited staff to let their hair down in our unique urban setting, which was transformed from a blank canvas to a summer party bedecked with decor and activities galore.
