Huge beer garden in the Merchant City to reopen ahead of the summer

One of Glasgow's biggest beer gardens is back, just in time for the summer.

The Festival Village is found in the heart of the Merchant City at Candleriggs Square and has been set up and made ready for summer as the ideal suntrap for a pint or two.

The team confirmed that there will be live music every weekend (Friday to Sunday) while street food will be on offer from exciting vendors like Say Cheese and Butcher Boy Burgers.

Posting on Facebook, the Festival Village team wrote: "That's right Festival Village: Merchant City is back and better than ever this year! Our outdoor bar is back with plenty of tables, great cocktails, new drafts and now with Live Music!"

They added that acts such as Jordan Winter, Gordon Airlie, and Greg Henderson would be performing live.

Open seven days a week from 11 am until 10pm, the Garden will also be dog friendly, meaning you can bring your pooch too.

The Festival team added: "Nestled between Brunswick Street and Candleriggs, Festival Village is only a short stroll from Glasgow hotspots such as George Square, Princes Square Shopping Centre and the St. Enoch Shopping Centre, as well as Glasgow Queen Street and Argyle Street stations, making it the perfect spot to relax and refresh close to the action.

"The venue also serves as the perfect resting point along Glasgow’s famous mural trail. As the summer evenings stretch ever longer, Festival Village is also an ideal place for unwinding with after-work drinks.

"The venue is dog-friendly and four-legged friends will be welcomed with a cold bowl of water and a treat!"
