About this Event

Come and visit Miss Cranston’s famous tearoom, the last remaining original of the tearooms designed by Glasgow’s own Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Led by an expert guide, you’ll explore the many floors of the iconic Mackintosh Tearooms and find out everything there is to know about this remarkable building as well as have the opportunity to admire its beautiful interior designs. You will also see exclusive spaces like the Billiard Room and the opulent Salon de Luxe.

Tickets for the tour include access to our exhibition, where you can explore the vibrant city of Glasgow in the late 1890s and early 1900s – a time of social change and innovation.

Our tours do not include refreshments. Don’t forget to book your table in the tearooms to enjoy the famous hospitality that the Mackintosh Tearooms has to offer.

Please note that occasionally some of our rooms may not be shown as part of the tour, due to private events or conservation work taking place. We will do our best to let you know in advance if your tour will be affected.
