Reviews of Britannia Panopticon
R. F.One of Glasgow’s best hidden gems!! A treasure of history with a dedicated group trying to preserve it all. A steal at 2£ for entry to look at exhibits, soak up the old atmosphere & if your lucky you’ll get to chat about its history with the very passionate steward who also stars in their Panto each year. Frequent events and performances held and they have a little bar in the back you can get a cocktail to enjoy while you wander around!!
M. H.Visited this venue 2 weeks ago.
A very old hall, with no heating, but has so much history , and you can clearly see that.
We went to see a show, it was well received and well put on, they have tiolets and a bar/snack shop.
It is open during the day, and the staff clearly know, a lot about the place.
Would i recommend 100% yes, would i go again...100% yes
J. M.Absolutely fabulous place. Oozes musical and theatrical history. The world oldest music hall!! Needs your support. Visit when you can. Catch a nostalgic show to help with the restoration of this stunning piece of history. We'll worth it. I love this place!!
B. C.Wonderful old theatre from 1857 .Worth a visit for a few pounds .staff knowledgeable about theatre and great stories about old actor's.. Still in a state of on going repair and needing donations and entry fees to keep goinging .does have shows in house ,with a bar . Great bit of history, hopefully not to be lost The oldest music hall in the world
D. S. (. B.This is an amazing relic from the past. So glad it is being preserved by people who care. Not easiest place to find as it has no fancy music hall frontage. It is in a small lane just off Trongate before the Tron theatre spire.. This is the oldest surviving music hall in the world. The hall opened in 1957 and originally could hold 1500 people. It had a wild croed reputation where legend states no turn was left unstoned. Its most famous turn was Stan Laurel pre Laurel and Hardy in 1906. Please

Guided tours available😊.
g. g.This a very interesting place. First used for theatrical purposes in 1857, it is considered the world's oldest music hall. They have a summer programme of showing old silent movies and early Laurel and Hardy films. They have a pantomime every year. This is an ongoing renovation project.
B. S.On a recent tour of Glasgow the guide told us about the Britannia Panopticon and I am glad he did or we wouldn’t have found it. It is a really interesting piece of history and with so many fascinating stories.
If you like learning about history, when you are in Glasgow I highly recommend you take a step back in time and visit the Britannia Panopticon Musical Hall.
E. S.Fabulous evening at this one of a kind place!!! Loved it and will be back very soon!
S.What a great night not even the film breaking down spoiled the night just made it more entertaining the Denton Deviants were superb . Well worth visiting this theatre everyone working there are volunteers and all proceeds go back into the restoration of this wonderful theatre the oldest in Europe and where Stan Laurel made one of his 1st stage appearances
J. W.What an amazing place with a history in theatre second to none. the performers and volunteers who put on shows here are to be commended in their dedication to saving this so important jewel in glasgows crown 👑 i urge anyone not to miss seeing the very place where stan laurel first took to the stage
