Independent multi-disciplinary arts and events complex on the Clyde at Yorkhill, with six hire spaces from an intimate room to a 4,000-capacity yard.
SWG3 - Studio Warehouse Glasgow - is a large independent multi-disciplinary arts and events complex on Eastvale Place in Yorkhill, on the north bank of the Clyde, in a converted industrial building. It runs a year-round programme of gigs, club nights, exhibitions and festivals, and is home to a community of artists and musicians with studio space on site.
The site has six hire spaces. Galvanizers is the main indoor hall, about 6,000 square feet of concrete, iron and steel; Galvanizers Yard is the large outdoor yard used for festival-scale shows; the TV Studio is a second indoor hall with exposed brick walls and concrete pillars; the Warehouse is a smaller multi-purpose hall on the upper floor opening onto a terrace and garden; The Poetry Club, co-founded by SWG3 with the artist Jim Lambie, is the intimate room used for smaller gigs, screenings and readings. The operator also hires the Photography Studio and Zinc Bar; no capacities are published for these last two, so they are not recorded as spaces here.
Outdoor yard
Large outdoor yard used for festival-scale shows and events.
The operator's hire page for this space states "Standing 4000"; its hire index says "capable of hosting up to 4000 people". The ground is uneven and a raised accessible viewing platform is provided.
Main hall
The main indoor hall, about 6,000 square feet of concrete, iron and steel. Stage is 32ft (9.8m) wide by 20ft (6.1m) deep, 1.5m tall with 4.5m clearance, per the January 2026 production spec.
The operator's hire page gives "Standing 1250", "Theatre 600" (repeated on the same page as "Seated - 600") and "Dinner 500", matching the standing/seated/dinner figures on the production spec's Galvanizers floor plan. Theatre is mapped to Seated and Dinner to Dining.
Small performance room
Intimate ground-floor room co-founded by SWG3 and the artist Jim Lambie, used for gigs, film screenings, zine launches and private parties.
The operator's hire page for this space gives "Standing 125" and "Seated 40". The production spec's floor plan differentiates standing further: 129 for club nights and 100 for gigs.
Second indoor hall
Second indoor hall with distinctive concrete pillars and exposed brickwork, used for award ceremonies, exhibitions, conferences, trade shows, gigs and club nights.
The operator's own hire page for this space gives "Standing 1,000", "Seated/Theatre 300" and "Dinner 300". The January 2026 production spec's floor plan separately confirms Standing 1000 and Seated 300, with a stage 7.3m wide (downstage) tapering to 4.9m upstage, floor-to-stage height 1m.
Upper-floor hall
Upper-floor multi-purpose hall with windows over Yorkhill, opening onto a terrace bar and garden; used for club nights, live art performances, dinners, launches and screenings.
The operator's own hire page for this space gives "Standing 500", "Seated 200" and "Dinner 240". The January 2026 production spec's floor plan gives a lower Seated 180 for the same room; both figures are on the operator's own domain, so the hire page's public Seated figure (200) is used here.
