COATS THE VENUE

Coats is Scotland's most unique event venue.

Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church, completed in 1894, operated as a church for over 100 years. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the building forms an imposing part of the Paisley skyline with its eye-catching crown steeple rising 200 feet into the air.

Coats is the ultimate venue for weddings, live music, theatre, private parties, conferences and small festivals.

The building boasts a breath-taking nave with seating for 800 with the original pulpit still in place, a large ballroom, several smaller function suites and a catering kitchen making it the ideal, 'ready to go' venue for events of all types and sizes.

Coats is fully accessible and available for hire all year.
