The Wasps team had the great pleasure of welcoming First Minister John Swinney to The Briggait in Glasgow this week.

It was a fantastic opportunity to highlight Wasps’ vital role in nurturing Scotland’s creative communities by providing artists and makers across the country with inspiring spaces to work. We were also proud to showcase our latest development – the Clydeside Market Halls – delivered with support from Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government.

We are grateful to the First Minister for visiting this restored Glasgow landmark, and for recognising the crucial role that creative communities and beautifully restored heritage spaces like The Briggait play in enriching Scotland’s cultural life and supporting its economy.
