The Pavillion is one of Glasgow's oldest theatres, the Pavilion opened on 29 February 1904 as a music hall theatre. The building has remained relatively unchanged in layout, although the sound and lighting systems have been updated over the years, the theatre is located in Glasgow city centre at121 Renfield Street,

The theatre was designed by Bertie Crewe for Thomas Barrasford.

Many of the leading music hall artistes of the early 20th century appeared at the Pavilion, including Marie Lloyd, Little Tich, Harry Lauder, Sarah Bernhardt and a then unknown Charlie Chaplin.

In the 1930s, the Pavilion began hosting pantomimes; in more recent times it has also produced plays.
