Paisley Town Hall

Abbey Close, Paisley PA1 1JF

The venue has a premier location right in the heart of Paisley town, with various local amenities on our doorstep. It is served by the M8 motorway, just a 20 minute drive from Glasgow City Centre and 8 minutes from Glasgow Airport. Train and bus links are excellent, with Paisley Gilmour Street station just a 5 minute walk away.

It is important to us to make the Paisley Arts Festival as accessible as possible for all participants, audiences, staff and volunteers. We strive to do as much as we can but we are aware that we have limitations and might not always get everything right.

Therefore, it is our goal to have an open and ever evolving dialogue about our commitment to accessibility, diversity and inclusion. If there is a specific access requirement you have, please contact us on OneRen_boxoffice@renfrewshire.gov.uk and we will do our best to meet your needs.
