Websters Theatre, Gothic theatre in Kelvinbridge, Scotland
Websters Theatre is a performance venue located in a converted church building on Great Western Road in Kelvinbridge. Inside are two auditoria: a main hall seating 240 people and a smaller playhouse with 55 seats for more intimate productions.
The building was constructed between 1862 and 1863 as Lansdowne Parish Church, originally designed as a place of worship. It was later repurposed as a theatre, allowing the distinctive structure to continue serving the community in a new role.
The venue hosts theatrical productions, stand-up performances, and musical events that draw audiences from across the city. Visitors experience a mix of local talent and touring performers who use the intimate spaces throughout the year.
The theatre is situated near Kelvinbridge Subway Station, making it straightforward to reach on foot or by public transport. The venue has bars, additional rooms for private events, and outdoor garden space for visitors to use before or after shows.
The building features stained glass windows created by Ward and Hughes in 1865 that remain visible to visitors today. Additional decorative glass panels were designed by Alfred Webster, the artist after whom the theatre is named.
