INGLISTON Country Club & Hotel in Renfrewshire has trebled its capacity for events by investing £250,000 in an indoor marquee which can accommodate up to 500 guests.
Chief executive Nigel Bird said he expected 80 new bookings for the marquee in the first year.
Ingliston Country Club & Hotel, in the Kilpatrick Hills near Bishopton, is owned and run by the Fraser family. As well as a boutique hotel, it has equestrian facilities, luxury lodges, hot tubs and saunas.
Mr Bird said: “We wanted to create a venue that can host large events but still offer great hospitality and entertainment in this unique location. Events on this scale bring fantastic numbers of visitors to the area and will undoubtedly benefit the local economy.
“We expect high demand for the new marquee.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
