Unfortunately, the majority of the times I have been here have been for funerals but it must be said, it is a lovely place for private functions like weddings with a fair few footballers going here on a number of occasions. It is primarily a golf club, with a great 18 hole course along with bowling green. A lovely place, tucked well away from the houses nearby. Not too fancy, but still quite elitist as far as sports clubs go with a long waiting list.

The club does meals for non-patrons during the week too, with a lunchtime menu for anyone who fancies a bit of a swish lunch, at a very affordable price. Very nice with lovely grounds, have a look at the website if you are planning a wedding or special occasion, and i think you will b pleasantly surprised!

Don't trust your maps, just sneak up the back way! I went here for a friend's 21st, and was really impressed with the function room. It was held in the Mill Suite, which is a downstairs suite with 2 rooms, a coatroom, and bathroom facilities. The main room consists of a bar, a seating/lounge area, and a dance floor with long tables situated at either side. It's a lovely room, very clean, modern, and welcoming. It'd be a lovely place to hold any milestone birthday, engagement party, wedding reception, etc. The prices of drinks at the bar were pretty reasonable, and space to relax or to mingle and chat. The dancefloor is a good size - definitely plenty of room for all your friends' and families' embarrassing dance moves, and all those dance-along favourites like the (heeeey) Macarena! This is definitely the kind of place I'd think of hiring for any big special occasion.

It's been there forever, the 20's if I'm not mistaken, and has had a couple of refurbs since. I've spent a lot of time in this theatre, as the youth theatre I was part of used this theatre for their shows, and I have so many fond memories of the place having spent about 5 weeks a year in total in the theatre! Now that I'm finished doing youth theatre I do love going to see their shows, and actually went to see Cats here on Saturday night, their most recent production, and it was fantastic. The Town Hall's theatre is amazing, but their library is outstanding as well and has everything you could ever need. The staff are great and willing to help with whatever they can, and I used the reference library a lot when I was doing my family tree, so I have first hand experience with how excellent the librarian's help was in here. If you have any questions about Hamilton's history, or anything book related, the librarians in here are the people to find.

What an interesting place…read more Currently used as an art space, this place has loads of history dating back to the late 1800's. We were here for the pop up of The Street Food Putter Club (separate review for this event on their page). We were a group of 12 and we all agree that this outing was by far the most random we've ever had, but definitely a fun one! Once inside, we were questioning whether to check our coats, but take note: you're going to need your coats as this place is only heated by floor heaters spread out in the building. The place is pretty huge and this particular event was spread out into 5 spaces- each one with areas to sit and relax, eat and drink. The toilets are bare, cold and dark and the sinks reminded me of old feeding throughs! One little warning should you find yourself at The Glue Factory: watch the white walls. Don't lean up against them or touch them really as they leave white dust marks over everything. Loads of us found out the hard way and had white stuff all over our clothes and bags. All in all, this is a great space. Super cold but if you come bundled up, it makes for a great space to hang.

Recently I attended the Scoop & Smoak Streetfood Cartel Event here, and had an absolutely amazing…read moretime trying various different street foods that the two different companies had to offer. It was a ticketed event and I managed to get a ticket at the last minute, so ventured on over as I was already in town. The event was held in a massive warehouse inside SWG3, and consisted of both Scoop and Smoak having massive New York-style street food trucks set up in the back of the room, cooking a beautiful smelling (and equally beautifully tasting) selection of foods from mac and cheese, pork belly and chicken sliders to lamb neck, smoked trout and a monkfish BLT. The food was exceptional, if a bit pricy, and I had a great time with Emma M and a selection of other food bloggers! The venue itself is wonderful and would lend itself nicely to any sort of event; be it a birthday party or a massive Yelp event with stalls and drinks and merryness. It can be a bit cold as it is a warehouse, and the toilets are located no where near the main room, but if you can look past all the negatives, including it's slightly dodgy looking location, then you would love this place for any sort of event.

Inside it basically is just a big warehouse and is quite cold as a result, so I'd recommend wrapping up if you're coming to an event here. There are a few different rooms with lots to look at, including an atmospheric red-lit lounge area with a stage and also a bar in the foyer with retro stools and an arty broken mirror on the wall. Some of Glasgow's Street Food Cartel were there, as they often are, and I had some amazing vegan pizza with butternut squash from the So La Ti Dough guys. Beer was the drink of the day, naturally, and there was plenty on offer from the various bars throughout the venue. Big, bare, airy and remote, SWG3 was a bit cold and soulless for my liking, but it's ideal for many of the art events and exhibitions it hosts.

As if I could give this gorgeous place anything other than 5 stars!…read moreAfter the amazing Yelp event we had, I was lucky enough to attend an AGM here for work, and the venue blew me away yet again! As soon as I arrived, I went and grabbed a cuppa and some fancy biscuits. The staff were great as per and OMG the tea. Never before have I had tea at a corporate event and thought about how good it was. But this was some darn good tea! It was also much needed as I'd just traipsed through the rain to get there, so it definitely made me feel a lot better. They also had a buffet on and even the other attendees were commenting on how great everything was - again, didn't expect much from a corporate event but it was just so good! They had things like chicken skewers and everything, even the sandwiches, was seriously tasty. Didn't think I'd ever have a favourite AGM, but this one is definitely winning so far! (I also snuck down to the library on my way out to gawp at it, because I am seriously in love with that room. Oft.) If I was throwing a fancy do or some other type of event where I wanted to impress, I would definitely look into booking Fifteen Ninety Nine and just hope I could afford it!

So, on the recommendations of the one who knows (Chrizzle of the Dizzle), I went to Society M. Easy to deal with. They coordinated the hotel rooms with the meeting room bookings. Got me quotes and re-quotes and further re-quotes, as my American Colleagues changed their minds. Sorted out lunch and a coffee machine. Lots of writing space in the room, I would move into one of these rooms for the chalk board walls alone. Cover them with equations like a scene from Num3ers. The room for the whole week just worked great. Amanda and Babs are friendly, gracious folks who kick ass at getting stuff sorted for you when the people you are trying to please are less than accommodating. Finally, the Society M membership is a great option for those of us who are employed with international companies and have no office of our own. Do I need it every day? No. But when I do need it - it is great that my comfy space is there. Need a meeting room? Phone these folks. If you don't - I do not want to hear your bitching - you were told.

The Davie Cooper suite is a really popular place for birthday and engagement parties in Motherwell…read more It is situated within the grounds of Fir Park, home to Motherwell Football Club. It can hold around 160 people including DJ for a party, and provides a buffet. You can't provide your own, which is what stopped me from holding my 18th or 21st in here. It is pretty expensive, and from what I recall, it wasn't great. Average, cold food which could have been provided by the family at half the cost. You have to put down a £100 damage deposit for the hire of the hall, but you get that back if you leave the place in tact. They must have changed the policy because when I rang a couple of years ago, it cost £125 to hire the hall and you didn't get that back. Average venue and average buffet food. The drinks are expensive too.
