Metaphor along with Serious prepared a report reviewing the current stock of venues across the Renfrewshire Council region, both inside and in the open air, that might be suitable to host events during the City of Culture year.

The study was part of the process of being bid-ready, assessing the capacity and capability of existing venues and spaces, and identifying what is needed in terms of upgrading and augmenting, whether there are sufficient venues, and whether any temporary venues are needed.
