Queens Park Arena Glasgow reviews by real event-goers

Review of Dirty Dancing

Very good

Review of Braveheart

Went to see Braveheart at open air cinema at Queen’s Park arena. Venue was well set up.. good food and drink options, lovely atmosphere and venue was very organised.

Review of Reservoir Dog's

Friends of mine didn't attend this screening because the website said it was sold out. But there was plenty of space available, the bleachers at Queen's Park were barely half full. They could have easily attended if people could just show up on the day and see what seating was available, first-come-first-served. I hope future events at this location will not require online booking.

Review of Giggle N Grow - Sunshine Show

Amazing day out. So great we have this in the community. Can’t thank the organisers enough for putting this on for us all.

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

I came to two events, first was Mary Poppins with my mum and two kids and the second was Bridget Jones' Diary with my friend. Firstly, tickets prices - incredibly great value for money!! Entirely appreciate that they then try to recoup some money back by ensuring money is then spent inside with drinks, food etc so would maybe recommend another food van! Don't get me wrong the pizza was fantastic but something else alongside it would've been great :) popcorn and the pick and mix was brilliant though :)

For Mary Poppins it absolutely bucketed and I was so pleased I had gone like a pack horse with the brolly, blanket and picnic blanket. The kids actually said that was the best bit being cuddled in under the brolly when the heavens opened!! Will definitely book again for next year :D hoping they'll consider doing something for Halloween and Christmas even!!!

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Think the food and drink prices were pretty steep for a children’s film. Toilets were filthy. It’s not helpful not being able to bring in water for toddlers etc. We liked the film and was a nice atmosphere but I wouldn’t hurry back. £10 for a small alcoholic drink is way too much.

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Great venue & amazing price. Only negative is the waiting time at drinks/food area. Waited 40 minutes for coffee and cookies. Problem with ice cream machine then only 1 person serving. Wouldn't stop me from returning even although I missed start of movie. Maybe more serving staff next time. Thanks 😊

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Brilliant

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Was a great day out and even better the weather was sunny, the kids loved it too.

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Lovely venue and great facilities but the sound level in the auditorium was much too high. My
5 year old autistic son couldn’t cope with more than 15 mins. I felt the same. It was a shame as everything else about the event was so good.

Review of Giggle N Grow - Sunshine Show

This event has the potential to be such an amazing free event for families all over the Southside. But the sad fact its being run by muppets who have a sole interest in profiteering.

On a hot day, families with babies and very young children were waiting at the gate for the 12-2 start time as advertised on Skiddle. We'll past 12 the gates were still closed until here was a very "just so you know the show will be an hour late". No apology. And then door staff having the brass neck AGAIN asking parents to drop packed lunches and liquids for collection later..they clearly did not receive the memo from the first farcical week. Who demands parents leave food and drink for babies and toddlers when there was barely an alternative on offer inside, no consideration for allergy sufferers and a slice of pizza and a packet of crisps costing close to a tenner. GCC couldn't organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery, this event (or non event) is a shining example of that.

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Great night, great venue. Only comment ..people in chairs blocked the view of those sitting on the ground, separated areas of chairs and ground sitters would work better. But excellent night, thank you.

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Great event and lovely venue. We had a sunny day so that was perfect. Wouldn’t have been doable on a wet day though. Please be aware you can not take your own food in! Every person I saw in the queue had brought a picnic and had to leave it at the door. Ideally this would have been stated on the ticket.

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Very well set up, great screens and volume, but really weird you can’t bring in your own snacks

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Best night of the summer

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Amazing event, great atmosphere. Would definitely do it again.

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

It was a fabulous evening. We were fortunate the weather was kind to us. Folding chairs were a bonus and the atmosphere was so good…..everyone was singing along to the crackin soundtrack. Hope there are more of these in future. Top class 🫶

Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Fantastic except for the fact snacks were taken off people on entry. My son is very fussy and there were no suitable alternatives for my husband to buy for him to eat- no crisps/chocolate for example.

Review of Bridget Jones' Diary

Great night, good laugh, looking forward to next year!
