Accessing Websters Heritage

Caring for heritage treasures remains a serious business as The Stand Comedy Club moves into former church

A 160 year old, landmark Glasgow church is starting a fresh chapter in its life after announcing it was the new home for a much loved comedy club, however, with The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Glasgow City Heritage Trust’s support the important heritage of the building will remain centre stage.

Caroline Clark, Director for Scotland, National Lottery Heritage Fund said:
“Restoring Alf Webster’s beautiful stained glass and delivering an outreach programme will unlock more of Glasgow’s artistic and cultural history for new audiences. Thanks to National Lottery players ‘Accessing Websters Heritage’ will protect and celebrate the craftsmanship and artistry which is a hallmark of Glasgow’s unquestioned importance as a global city of creativity and design.”

Standing at the junction of Great Western Road and the River Kelvin the former Lansdowne Church is an iconic building on the busy route from the West into the city. The church became a theatre a decade ago, summer 2025 it was announced that a popular comedy club was taking up residence.  The Four Acres Charity  that cares for the building remains committed to recognising and sharing it as a heritage asset for Glasgow and has secured £250,000 support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Glasgow City Heritage Trust for a new project entitled ‘Accessing Websters Heritage’.

Exciting new plans at Websters.   April, 2025.

Stories All Along Great Western Road 

A new social media history project entitled Stories All Along Great Western Road.

The venture aims to capture and celebrate the diverse, exciting and sometimes eccentric history of Great Western Road.

The Lansdowne Parish Church has been refurbished with exceptional care and attention to detail. This is reflected in the decor or the inviting bar and bistro; the attractive seating has been built from the church pews, the original brass light fittings have been rescued and original designs have been replicated on the walls.  You will love the unique space and warm ambience.
