How do I get to The Irn Bru Carnival?

The Carnival takes place at the SEC in Glasgow. Glasgow's a really easy city to get around, with plenty of transport options - read on to find out the best way to get to the SEC.

 

BY TRAIN

The SEC has its own dedicated railway station – Exhibition Centre – allowing easy access from the city centre and suburbs. There are six trains an hour (around every 10 minutes) from Glasgow Central station, departing from Platform 17 (low level), and journey takes just 3 minutes. On disembarking at the Exhibition Centre, take the stairs or a lift up street level. A covered walkway connects the station to the campus.

 

BY BUS

The Riversider 100 service operates from George Square in Glasgow city centre directly to the SEC. The X19 Stagecoach service also operates near to the Scottish Event Campus, stopping on Finnieston Street only a few minutes’ walk from the venue.

 

BY TAXI

There are several taxi ranks throughout the city including at Buchanan Bus Station, Queen Street and Central stations and most large hotels. The distinctive black cabs can accommodate five or six people. If their yellow light is on you can flag them down on the street. Alternatively, you can call +44 (0) 141 429 70 70 or visit the Glasgow Taxis website to book. Our address for the online taxi booking form is SEC, Glasgow, G3 8YW. An average journey from the city centre will cost around £7. All Glasgow Taxi drivers are enhanced disclosure checked. A drop off area is available at the SEC West Entrance/Exit. The distance from the drop off/pick up point to the West Entrance is 41m.

 

BY FOOT 

Glasgow is a very walkable and easy to navigate city. The Clyde Walkway runs right past the SEC, providing a scenic stroll to the Carnival. There are two foot bridges, which cross the Clydeside Express Way (dual carriageway connecting the west end to Glasgow city centre) at both the front and rear of the campus. Three pedestrian bridges traverse the River Clyde near the SEC. Bells Bridge and the Millennium Bridge connect the campus to the Science Centre and BBC while, a little further east, the Clyde Arc (affectionately known as the ‘Squinty Bridge’) carries both vehicles and pedestrians.
