About
The original Barrowland Ballroom opened in 1934 in a mercantile area east of Glasgow’s city center and was built by “Barras Queen” Maggie McIver. The Barrowland building includes large street-level halls used for the weekend markets, with a sizeable weatherproof hall above. The front of the building is decorated with a distinctive animated neon sign. The sign is believed to be the biggest of its kind in the UK. The building was largely destroyed by fire in 1958, leading to a complete rebuild. The rebuilt ballroom opened on Christmas Eve 1960. In more recent years, the Ballroom has become a major concert venue known for its acoustics and its sprung dance floor.
