Glasgow is one of Scotland’s key events cities - with a rich mix of historic and modern venues, and a lively cultural scene. Alpha Crew has been supporting Glasgow events for over a decade, providing professional event crew and technical expertise for productions of all sizes.

Glasgow’s Event Landscape

Glasgow’s mix of historic and contemporary venues brings its own challenges. Heritage-listed buildings require careful handling, while outdoor spaces demand contingency planning for Scotland’s unpredictable weather. The city’s busy streets and public areas also require careful logistical planning. Despite these challenges, Alpha Crew has extensive experience across Glasgow, covering festivals, theatre, corporate launches, live music, sports events, and more. The diversity of Glasgow’s venues has helped our crews develop the skills needed to work efficiently in both protected heritage sites and modern, high-energy spaces.

At Alpha Crew, training and expertise are central to everything we do. Our event support and technical crews are skilled in areas including safety, sound, lighting, and plant/machinery operation.
