Solidifying its commitment to Glasgow’s performing arts scene, the city’s Radisson Blu Hotel Glasgow has announced a collaboration with the King’s Theatre.
This new partnership coincides with the theatre’s 120th anniversary and the 60th anniversary of its beloved festive pantomime – and will allow the theatre to extend this year’s season of Peter Pan.
Located in the city centre, a stone’s throw from Central Station, Radisson Blu Hotel Glasgow has recently undergone a £15m refurbishment. Partnering with King’s Theatre, a cornerstone of Glasgow’s artistic heritage, is intended to strengthen the hotel’s role as a getaway tied to the city’s cultural scene.
The King’s has been a vital part of the city for decades, presenting critically acclaimed plays, first class musicals and notably, its beloved family pantomimes.
This year’s diamond anniversary pantomime season, featuring Peter Pan and starring Scottish favourites Elaine C Smith, Johnny Mac and Darren Brownlie, will run for a huge 71 performances.
General manager of Radisson Blu Glasgow, Hina Rubbani-Mills, said: “We’re proud to partner with the iconic King’s Theatre, especially during such a significant anniversary for the venue and its pantomime tradition. With its deep roots in Glasgow’s cultural history, this collaboration will allow us to offer guests a truly immersive experience, where world-class hospitality meets the city’s artistic spirit.
“At Radisson Blu Glasgow, we strive to be more than just a place to stay — we’re becoming a gateway to the best of what Glasgow has to offer. From exclusive theatre packages to themed experiences, this partnership reinforces our vision of providing unforgettable, culturally enriched stays.”
Theatre director at Glasgow Theatres, James Haworth, said: “We’re delighted that this year’s pantomime will be supported locally by Radisson Blu Hotel Glasgow.
“Peter Pan is the perfect festive treat for all the family. We look forward to working in partnership with their team to help us create an unforgettable experience for audiences as we celebrate 60 years of panto.
