The rennovation is part of a wider investment by council bosses into Paisley's cultural venues in order to drive footdall to the town.

Work is also underway to transform the Paisley museum.

The building's original 19th century architectural features while adding 21st century performance facilities guaranteeing the building's long-term future.

Councillor Lisa-Marie Hughes, chair of Renfrewshire Leisure Ltd, which will operate the reopened building, said: “We are delighted to reveal this animation, which will give the people of Paisley and beyond their first real look at what their town hall will look like once back in use.

“Everyone in Paisley will have their own special memories of the town hall – and the work we are doing now will preserve that history and make sure future generations can have the same.

“At the same time, the town hall is a key project within the council’s wider investment in the town aimed at using Paisley’s internationally-significant cultural and heritage offer to change its future.

“Once reopen the town hall will build on the work already done to make Paisley one of Scotland’s key destinations for heritage, culture and events - driving new footfall and visitors to the town centre, day and night, and helping the local economy build back from the effects of the pandemic.”
