The city hosts Celtic Connections each winter, the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green, and large football fixtures at Hampden Park, Celtic Park and Ibrox.

How booking crew in Glasgow works

1. Send your date, venue or site, call times and the work involved through the quote form.
2. We confirm availability and suggest a crew size and shift pattern.

Planning checklist for events in Glasgow

• Confirm load-in times, loading bay or access route and parking with the venue or site manager
• Check any noise, curfew or road-closure restrictions that affect build and get-out times
• Send your RAMS, site rules and call sheet so the crew can be briefed properly
• Decide whether you need a crew chief, forklift cover or specialist rigging support
• Allow extra time for derig and clear-down; get-outs usually take longer than people expect
