Provan Hall Tours and Museum Entry
500 years of history in the heart of Easterhouse, Glasgow. Arguably Glasgow’s oldest house, Provan Hall is the best example of a medieval fortified house in Scotland and lies with the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. Architecture, history, arts, culture, there is something for everyone at this somewhat hidden historic gem. Provan Hall was recently renovated by Glasgow City Council and is now under management of independent charity, Provan Hall Community Management Trust. Our historic house museum offers visitors a stunning example of renovation and the wonders of community development and care of such treasures. You can explore Provan Hall and immerse yourself in the medieval way of life in our interactive museum with hands-on and audio-visual features. Join a tour, workshop, borrow our nature discovery kits to explore the gardens and woodland or simply wander and take in all the sights and sounds. There is free parking in Auchinlea Park car park, we have coffee refreshments available for purchase in our visitor hub, a gift shop and local history exhibitions in our community exhibition room.
