The largest public library in Europe is the Mitchell Library on Granville Street in Glasgow. Directly behind the library stands the Mitchell Theatre, run by Glasgow City Council. The original building, located within St Andrew's Hall, was destroyed by fire in 1962, leaving only the façade which remains one of the most iconic buildings in Glasgow. The complex was rebuilt between 1972 and 1980 and the Mitchell Theatre is now a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, book and antique fairs and conferences.
The Mitchell Auditorium has a seating capacity of 410 places and boasts a wide range of state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment which is available for hire. The James Moir Hall, a multi-purpose hall with seating for 400, can also be found within the complex. Both private and corporate clients can use the facilities at the Mitchell for business meetings or banquets and there are eight hire spaces available. There are also café and bar facilities. More information about The Mitchell can be found by calling the Mitchell Venue team on 0141 287 2805.
