Come to Glasgow for the World Pipe Band Championships

The World Pipe Band Championships will be held over two days for the first time this summer.

Held in Glasgow Green, the event will be in a brand new two-day format, on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August. Enjoy a fantastic day in the centre of Glasgow with the air filled with the most Scottish of sounds. It not only makes a great day out for true piping fans, but there's plenty going on for the whole family.

All of this makes the perfect excuse to spend the weekend in Glasgow. Our hotels and serviced apartments are ideally situated in the West End allowing you to access the "Worlds" easily on the Subway or buses, while ensuring you can still 'get away from it' when you want to rest your feet.
