Situated opposite Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens, Òran Mór, Gaelic for 'great melody of life' or 'big song' is a stunning converted church that has a number of spaces available to hire for events from 15 to 550. Òran Mór regularly plays host to a varying programme of events, including product launches, banquets, awards dinners, conferences, gigs and theatre, firmly placing Òran Mór on the map as one of Glasgow’s leading venues.
