With its rich history and renewed commitment to accessibility and excellence, Paisley Arts Centre is one of the go-to destinations for live performances, arts, and culture in the region.
Councillor Lisa-Marie Hughes: “Paisley Arts Centre has always been a cornerstone of our community, and with this incredible refurbishment, we’re excited to welcome both residents and visitors back to a venue that truly reflects the vibrant cultural spirit of Paisley.
“This transformation not only enhances the experience for audiences but also provides a state-of-the-art environment for performers to thrive. We’re proud to see Paisley Arts Centre continue to be a hub for creativity and connection in our town.”
The Arts Centre is part of Renfrewshire Council's transformational capital investment programme which also includes the modernisation of Paisley Town Hall into one of Scotland's top entertainment venues, the creation of the award-winning Learning and Cultural Hub on Paisley High Street, and the transformation of Paisley Museum into a world-class visitor destination.
An Unparalleled Audience Experience
The newly refurbished Paisley Arts Centre offers an incredible audience experience, allowing patrons to immerse themselves in a diverse range of cultural events. The intimate setting ensures that every seat in the house feels close to the action, fostering a deep connection between performers and audiences. The venue has been meticulously designed to be fully accessible, ensuring that everyone in the community can enjoy the rich cultural offerings.
Enhanced Facilities for Artists
Artists will find Paisley Arts Centre to be a welcoming and inspiring space, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. The refurbishment includes new dressing rooms, advanced sound and lighting systems, and enhanced rehearsal spaces, creating an ideal environment for performers to prepare and showcase their work.
Introducing Blend Coffee Lounge
Adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the centre is the new café/bar area, operated by the renowned Blend. Open from Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm, and during performances, the café offers the finest coffee and expertly crafted beverages by skilled baristas. It's the perfect spot to relax before a show or catch up with friends over a cup of exceptional coffee and bite to eat.
Alan Baird, Director at Blend: “We are excited to be back in Paisley in such a historic landmark. We look forward to serving the best locally roasted coffee to the people of Paisley, seeing old friends, meeting new ones and delivering excellent customer service, as welcome all into our new space. People are our business. Investing in the local community, partnering with organisations and seeing Paisley thrive is what we’d love to see. If we can play a small, or big, part in that, then we will be delighted.”
