Five great reasons to visit Glasgow with your family for the Guinness PRO14 Final

The grandstand finish to this season’s Guinness PRO14 will be played at Glasgow’s Celtic Park in May as Scotland’s most populated city plays host to the grandest of rugby occasions.

Some of rugby’s biggest stars are still battling it out to see who will be there to play for the trophy as the title race continues to gather pace in both Conferences, with teams in the hunt for a place in the Guinness PRO14 Final Series.

It’s not too early for fans to start planning their trips to Scotland though, with Glasgow perfectly suited for families to visit one of rugby’s greatest showpieces.

1. Family Stand – There are few more historic sports stadiums in the world than Celtic Park, with its rich footballing history and established place as one of the Meccas of sport in Glasgow. The famous stadium will cater perfectly for the needs of the Guinness PRO14 Final in May, with a specified section marked out as the Family Stand in the Lisbon Lions section. Celtic Park’s Family Stand will include entertainment for kids including Xbox consoles, play areas and lots more entertainment to make it a perfect day out for all the family!

2. Ticket offers – There are a range of offers and incentives for families to take in the Guinness PRO14 Final, headed up by the family ticket for just £100 (two adults + two Under-18s). Special family pricing and offers are also available including “Kid for a Quid”, where Under-12s tickets are just £1 with a full price adult ticket – however, these offers are limited, so buy now to ensure you don’t miss out!

3. Fan zone – Following on from the superb festival of rugby that Dublin put on for the Guinness PRO14 Final in 2018, Glasgow is in line to offer itself as an exceptional host this year. There will be a carnival atmosphere around the ground with no shortage of food and drink stalls, and live music.

4. Glasgow entertainments – Glasgow is one of the friendliest and most exciting cities in the world for a family to visit and there is entertainment everywhere you look. We’d recommend the Riverside Museum that straddles the River Clyde – it is home to some of the world’s finest cars and bicycles – and won the 2013 European Museum of the Year award. The city’s Botanic Gardens, in the heart of the city’s West End, provide the perfect green space while Glasgow Cathedral is the most complete of its kind on mainland Scotland and will inspire awe. The Celtic Park Stadium Tour offers plenty of sporting fascination or for more fun why not visit Largs, a popular seaside resort on the Firth of Clyde and just 30 minutes’ drive from the city. Kelvin Hall currently has a full (39 feet), 66 million years old T Rex skeleton on display-well worth a look!

5. Glasgow eats – Glasgow has a host of fantastic fine dining options. For top quality Scottish cuisine, you can try Cail Bruich in Great Western Road, while Ox and Finch, in Sauchiehall Street, provides small plates for those who don’t mind sharing. The Ubiquitous Chip provides something with a bit of history – Ronnie Clydesdale opened the restaurant in Ashton Lane in 1971 and it is still run by his family today.
