Tennent’s hails record visitors to attraction

The Tennent’s Story visitor centre in Glasgow is celebrating a bumper year of visitors since its launch in November of last year.

The centre was opened by actor Martin Compston. Picture: Paul Chappells.

Latest figures reveal that the attraction at Wellpark Brewery has triggered a 46 per cent year-on-year increase in footfall. Tours had been running before the dedicated visitor centre opened.

The major seven-figure investment, built on the existing brewery site, has provided more than 31,000 tours to Tennent’s fans from across the globe.

The three-floor attraction is home to artefacts gathered from the first days of brewing at Wellpark, covering Hugh Tennent’s introduction of lager to the UK.

James Hughes, brand manager, said: “The Tennent’s Story is the single biggest investment we’ve made in the brewery’s visitor experience. It’s fantastic to see such great numbers.”
