SCOTLAND’S premier entertainment destination, XSite Braehead, is receiving a £12.6m investment in new attractions and refurbishments.
The money is drawn from a partnership of tenant and owner contributions and includes the opening of the world’s longest indoor e-karting track and e-sports venue, K1 Speed, within the centre later this year.
The news of this investment comes from a very successful 2024 for XSite, which welcomed over 2.1 million people throughout the year.
Q4 was particularly successful, with November footfall up by 10.4% compared to 2023 and December footfall up +14.5 % compared to the previous month.
This was as people flocked to the centre to spend time with friends and family enjoying the mix of entertainment attractions and bars and restaurants, including TGI Fridays, Pizza Express and Nando’s in the run-up to Christmas.
Tenpin has transformed with the addition of four new bowling lanes, two private karaoke rooms, and a complete makeover of the bar.
This refurbishment will be closely followed this year by Paradise Island Golf which is undertaking a significant overhaul, including the addition of a high ropes course.
Coupled with the expansion of family entertainment centre, Funstation and alongside the offering from other tenants including Odeon IMAX – XSite Braehead continues to offer an range of entertainment options to visitors.
Kitty Vaughan, head of UK Leisure and F&B at Pradera Lateral, XSite’s asset management team, said: “2025 is a landmark year for XSite Braehead with the introduction of new tenants, and significant enhancements to the already popular existing attractions.
“This large-scale, unprecedented investment highlights XSite Braehead’s ongoing commitment to evolving and enhancing the visitor experience and with this we are setting the centre up for an extended period of exceptional growth.”
