BBC Scotland this morning reporting the Citizens Theatre revamp funds being made available last minute but with no time, it seems, to tell you who from.

The Herald, also, making you work to find out, with:

If YOU have the time, you can find, in the Herald report:

The Scottish Government has signed off another multi-million pound bail-out for Glasgow’s 148-year-old Citizens Theatre to help meet the final costs of its long-delayed revamp.

Ministers have approved another £3.5 million for the refurbishment, which reopened to the public last August after a seven-year closure, despite the project receiving an additional £8m from the government and £2m from the city council to allow the Citizens to reopen last year.

but, they seem to have understated the SNP‘s role in all this. From Grok AI:

The Glasgow Citizens Theatre (often called “the Citz”) in the Gorbals underwent a major seven-year redevelopment/revamp of its historic Victorian building. The project faced significant cost overruns (original estimates around £19–20 million, final cost reportedly approaching or exceeding £30 million) and reopened to the public in August 2025. https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/buildings/bennetts-completes-revamp-of-glasgows-citizens-theatre

The primary funders are public bodies, which have covered the bulk of the costs:

Scottish Government: The largest single contributor, with a total of £17.5 million. This includes multiple grants over the years, such as an £8 million boost in late 2024 and a final £3.5 million announced recently (as of March 2026) to cover the last costs of the refurbishment. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottish-news/25964244.historic-glasgow-citizens-theatre-gets-major-3-5m-funding-boost/
