Thanks for a fabulous first decade, we look forward to creating many more special memories together at our 10th Anniversary celebrations and over many years to come.
Since it exploded onto the scene ten years ago, Perth Concert Hall has shaken up the cultural map of Scotland. It has become the new go-to venue for a host of world-class artists from across all genres, gained a reputation for adventurous programming, innovative community events and imaginative activities and picked up more than thirty awards along the way!
Over the decade Perth Concert Hall has welcomed tens of thousands of conference and event delegates from Scotland and across the world, all keen to take advantage of its state-of-the-art facilities, flexible spaces and knowledgeable staff; not to mention its perfectly placed location in the heart of Scotland. It has helped shine the spotlight on Perth as a great place to live, work, invest in and visit.
None of this would have been possible without our supporters, funders, sponsors and visitors
