Ramshorn Theatre, Church and Graveyard

Description: At the top of Candleriggs is one of the most unusual small theatre venues in Glasgow. The Ramshorn Theatre is housed in a converted neo-gothic church, with stunning stained glass windows. Presenting about 20 major productions a year, the theatre presents student and community productions as well as incoming professional companies. In addition, there are evening music events, and weekly Tuesday Lunchtime Concerts (October to the end of May), presenting the range from international musicians playing classical music to contemporary jazz fusion. Inside, the Foyer bar has a permanent display of theatre photography. Surrounding the theatre is the wonderful peaceful green space of the graveyard which is the resting place of, amongst others, Pierre Emille L'Angellier whom Blythswood Square murderess Madeleine Smith allegedly poisoned with over 80 grams of arsenic in a cup of cocoa - was this the first case of 'Death by Chocolate'? The graveyard is open every day; on Saturdays during the summer, guides from the Senior Studies Institute show visitors around the church and graveyard.
