The Tall Ship Glenlee, at Riverside - a unique venue for any special occasion that you and your guests will never forget.
Built in 1896, Glenlee is the only steel square-rigged cargo vessel remaining in the whole of the UK, and one of just five such Clyde built vessels remaining in the world.
The Tall Ship offers a unique combination of 19th century charm with modern facilities, perfect for weddings, conferences and banqueting. The atmospheric surroundings evoke dramatic images of a life at sea. Enjoy the unique riverside setting (flood lit in the evening ), before going below deck to dine or entertain.
The Tall Ship can accommodate up to 150 people for dining and up to 200 for a reception.
The space is very flexible and allows organisers to use imagination and flair to 'wow' their guests. Guests can browse the onboard exhibits or enjoy the riverside sunset from the main deck.
