Paisley Arts Centre

Housed in a converted 18th Century church, Paisley Arts Centre is a genuinely charming place that really brings out the historical side of its hometown. Built in 1736, the aged concrete and unadorned arches are a pleasing respite from the modern developments that surround it. Inside you'll find the theatre space, an intimate but comfortable setting, and The Haunt Bar and Café, which amongst other things has a notable draft selection.

Additionally, the huge outdoor seating area is a nice touch for the summer months, while The Haunt Bar and the Arts Centre itself both run a programme of varied events, from which you can expect a pleasing combination of local and touring theatre, live music, stand-up, and cinema.
