LWOW Sprint takes place 5–7 March 2027 at Barony Hall, our main venue on the University of Strathclyde’s city-centre Glasgow campus.

Glasgow is easy to get to and even easier to explore once you arrive. Set in the west of Scotland’s Central Belt, it’s about 50 minutes by direct train from Edinburgh and 4½–5 hours from London Euston. If you’re flying in, Glasgow Airport has a direct bus to the city centre.

One of the best things about Sprint 2027 is how much is within walking distance. The University of Strathclyde’s city-centre campus puts Barony Hall, our main Sprint venue, minutes from hotel, train and bus stations, cafés and restaurants. Grab a coffee on your way to Sprint, meet up with your team after the day’s sessions, or take a stroll through Merchant City. It’s easy to fit a little Glasgow into your Sprint weekend.
