Situated in the heart of Paisley and housed in the Old Laigh Kirk, Paisley Arts Centre has long been established as one of Scotland’s most vibrant and exciting venues for comedy, dance, drama, music, theatre, and family events.
Please see our venue hire prices here.
The multi-million pound renovation of Paisley Arts Centre is complete, with an incredible transformation designed to improve the audience experience allowing customers to get close to culture.
The upgrades include new artist dressing rooms, improved sound and lighting, and an enhanced space for rehearsals. Audiences will enjoy the improvement to the theatre seating, café/bar extension, and for the first time there will be wheelchair accessible space available in the upper floor with heightened views of the stage.
The studio spaces will be available for a variety of creative and other community use whilst the new bar area offers the opportunity for groups and individuals to make the Arts Centre their regular place to meet up and hang out.
As well as audiences, artists are central to the creative life of the building and brand-new backstage facilities for visiting performers will make them feel welcome in Paisley.
Our vision is to make Paisley Arts Centre a creative hub for Renfrewshire, to take creative risks and push artistic boundaries. The studio space is available for rehearsals and developing new work while a smaller, multi-purpose function room can be turned to a variety of creative and commercial uses.
Outside has changed too, with a remodelling of the pavement and outdoor space to open up the Arts Centre, offering new spaces for performance and making the building more accessible.
