"The Briggait houses Scotland's most important collection of surviving market halls"
Hello and Welcome
The Briggait is a beautiful Grade A listed building in Glasgow’s medieval quarter, the Merchant City.
Originally built in 1873, the Briggait was the city’s fish market for over 100 years.
It has now been transformed into a vibrant new home for over 80 visual artists and cultural organisations.
The Briggait will open to the public on a daily basis from August 2010, following an open studios launch event on 24th & 25th July during the Merchant City Festival weekend. Everyone is invited! Please click here to find out about all the activities that will be happening over the launch weekend.
Please explore this site to discover more about the colourful history of “Scotland’s oldest collection of surviving market halls” and to see how the building has been reintroduced to the 21st Century.
