YO! Sushi School - Glasgow Braehead

@ YO! Glasgow Braehead on Tuesday 12th May 2026 and 31 other Tuesdays

The Yo! Sushi School is back, giving you the chance to roll like a pro. Under the expert guidance of resident sushi masters, you'll learn the history of this delicious dish, pick up some knife skill and make some rolls of your very own. 

To fill you up along the way, you can tuck into salmon sashimi slice, inari nigiri, cucumber maki, crunchy Cali rolls and plenty more. Tickets start from just £27.95 and include your feast, plus a welcome beer or glass of fizz.

The Corset Club

Tucked within Glasgow's historic Jacobean Corsetry building, The Corset Club is an events and performance space that's jazzing up your April plans. A stalwart for the LGBTQI+ community and its allies, the space is home to musical theatre and cabaret brunches, drag contests, live music nights and more.

Boteco Do Brasil

3 Tapas & Caipirinha and 2 other offers

Boteco Do Brasil brings a vibrant slice of Latin right to the heart of Merchant City. As the caipirinhas flow, the banging tunes never stop. There's always something here to keep you entertained, from salsa nights to live musicians amping up the atmosphere.

Attracting an international crowd, it serves up reggaeton, Latin dance and afrobeat to locals, ex-pats and tourists on the hunt for an epic night out. Unsurprisingly, the cocktails here lean on the side of rum, with reggae punch and Cuba Libre among the most popular tipples.

Sloans

From ceilidhs to screenings of Sister Acts, Step Brothers and more for Eatfilm, where tickets come with a main meal and drink included, Sloans has plenty of things to do this April. Enjoy all you can eat mac'n'cheese at the Scottish Macaroni Appreciation Club too.

The Social

The Social is holding all kinds of big events in Glasgow this April, from its wild Friday evenings to its late-night DJ sets. You can also simply pop over for a load of scrumptious pizzas, sharing boards or steaks accompanied by creative cocktails - we recommend the candyfloss martini for a hit of sugar.

Speakeasy

Merchant City hotspot Speakeasy is in full bloom this spring, hosting a bucketload of quirky things to do in Glasgow this April. We're talkin' cracking karaoke sessions, sing sync battles led by iconic drag queen Lola Fierce and late-night club events with DJ James on the decks 'til 3am.

Flight Club Glasgow Brunch Social

@ Flight Club Glasgow on Various dates from Saturday 9th May 2026

It's never a dull moment with Flight Club Glasgow's Brunch Social, so book your spot with your mates this April and prepare to have some serious fun. Tickets start from £33 per person and include a two-hour brunch session, half of which will be spent perfecting your aim with darts. Bag a bottle of prosecco for your table and wolf down gooey slices of pizza to refuel.

Polo Lounge & Riding Rooms

Roll up, roll up to the Riding Room for cocktails, cabaret and community. This buzzing Merchant City bar is home to an amazingly eclectic roster of entertainment, from burlesque to music and musicians. 

Get down here this April for the Polo Day Disco. Banging out all the biggest pop hits from the 60s to the 90s across the afternoon, it's perfect if you want to boogie but still be in bed by 10pm.

The Corinthian

When it comes to fun things to do this April in Glasgow, The Corinthian in Merchant City is blowing it out of the water with cracking events across its five floors. What's on the agenda? Live music in Charlie Parker's Piano Bar, Friday club nights, late-night DJs every Saturday and so much more - with indulgent burgers and delicious brunches up for grabs too.

MAGGIES ROCK 'N' RODEO PRESENTS:THE COWBOY CEILIDH!

Be right buck, we're grabbing tickets to Maggie's Rock 'n' Rodeo Presents The Cowboy Ceilidh this April at her Merchant City den. Don your cowboy boots and giddy on up as country takes over.
