Glasgow City Chambers to host charity wrestling event next month
Glasgow’s historic City Chambers Banqueting Hall will host a night of professional wrestling on Saturday, 15 March, as Blockbuster Pro Wrestling presents a history-making event to mark Glasgow’s 850th birthday.
This family-friendly spectacle will not only celebrate the city’s rich history but also raise vital funds for the Lord Provost's Charity Funds, supporting Glasgow’s most vulnerable citizens and those in crisis.
The event features an exciting lineup of top wrestling talent, including Jack Jester, Grado, Lana Austin, AV Club, Angel Hayze, and more. Wrestling fans and newcomers can look forward to an unforgettable evening of action, entertainment, and community spirit, as this marks the first time a professional wrestling event will be held in the City Chambers.
Lee Greig, better known as wrestler Jack Jester, said: “Being asked to wrestle in the City Chambers is a highlight of my career—not only because I’m a proud Glaswegian, but because we’re raising funds for such important causes.
“For the first time in history, we will bring sports entertainment to this iconic building, and I cannot wait to show our city what we have to offer. "For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing for audiences all over the world, but nothing beats the atmosphere of a Glesga crowd. Best in the world.”
The Lord Provost’s Charity Funds provide critical support to those in crisis across Glasgow, helping disadvantaged children, vulnerable adults, and socially isolated senior citizens. Donations from the event will go towards:
- The Children’s Fund, offering financial assistance for educational trips, resources, and opportunities for young people under 18.
- The Vulnerable Citizens Fund, helping adults in need with essentials such as clothing, furniture, and household items.
- The Senior Citizens Fund, supporting older residents with necessities to improve their quality of life.

Lord Provost of Glasgow, Councillor Jacqueline McLaren, said: "Get ready for an electrifying, family-friendly evening of wrestling in our magnificent City Chambers Banqueting Hall - a venue that has never hosted an event quite like this before!
“Wrestling has always been a hit in Glasgow, and this event is the perfect way to come together for a fantastic cause. All proceeds will support the Lord Provost's Charity Funds, helping those in need across our city. I encourage everyone to join us for a night of entertainment and generosity.”
