A former haberdashery on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, which has lain vacant for more than six years, has been turned into a new wedding venue.
The multi-purpose event space opens its doors this week, and with a backlog of Covid-delayed weddings across the city, the venue is already taking bookings for this summer.
The Haberdashery, named after a ladies’ tailors which operated in the building for more than 50 years from 1923, is the first venture by friends Afton Ferguson, an event planner, and Nikki Fairfull, who has left a career in the property sector to launch the business.
Fairfull says she came across the venue for their dream business while searching online classified ad website Gumtree.
“I fell in love the moment I walked in – there was so much natural light and it was much more grand than I expected, with its traditional cornicing, marble pillars and exposed brick,” she explained.
