Purpose of the Role
Merchant Square is Glasgow’s iconic dining, drinks and entertainment venue at the heart of the Merchant City. Home to an eclectic mix of restaurants, bars, experiences and events, Merchant Square plays host to a popular programme of events. These include Glasgow’s biggest Hogmanay party, festivals, live sports, conferences, charity events, markets, fairs and many more.
