The Fort Theatre
5 minute walk from Bishopbriggs station · Glasgow and West Central
The Fort Theatre is a dedicated performance venue that serves as the permanent home of the Antonine Theatre Group. Established in 1960, this community-focused organisation has been based at this specific location since 1969.
The theatre is notable for its rich history of local drama and its role as a host for the SCDA Glasgow District One Act Festival. It features a diverse annual calendar, typically producing distinct spring and autumn plays alongside a festive December pantomime.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of entertainment, ranging from family-friendly shows like Hansel and Gretel and the Singing Kettle to suspenseful productions like 2:22 - A Ghost Story. Beyond drama, the venue also hosts and produces musical events throughout the year. Enthusiastic individuals are even encouraged to get involved with the group, as no prior experience is necessary to join.
