About this venue

Saint Luke's & The Winged Ox occupies a Grade B listed former church in Glasgow's East End, next to the Barrowlands. St Luke's Parish Church was built in 1836 and closed for worship in 2012; a restoration beginning in January 2015, supported by Glasgow City Heritage Trust and the Calton Barras Action Plan, converted the building into a live music and arts venue while preserving its original stained glass windows and early 1800s pipe organ. The church hall is the venue's main performance and events space, paired with the Winged Ox Bar and Kitchen, and the venue hosts a wide-ranging live music programme alongside weddings, corporate events and funerals.
