Hotel accommodation
Arrangements have been made for the Greater Glasgow & Clyde Valley Tourist Board to handle all hotel bookings on our behalf. Tel: +44 (0)141 566 4085 or email accommodation@seeglasgow.com

Having already had some requests from journalists for an affordable functional hotel near to the venue we would like to recommend the Campanile Hotel. This is one of the closest hotels to the SECC and although not luxurious it is comfortable and convenient and should fit tight budgets.

To book this, or any of the other hotels visit the Hotel section of the BCPC website here and use the secure booking form.

Early Booking is Advised.
