Join us from 8th - 21 August as Merchant Square becomes Scotland's only Official Team GB FanZone.
Entry to the FanZone is FREE and there will be the opportunity to learn more about how you can participate in some of the Olympic sports that are on show in Brazil this August.
The Merchant Square FanZone will show live coverage of the Games and will be fully branded Team GB - a special seating area will be created, featuring deck chairs and bean bags to ensure fans can catch all the action on the big screen in Merchant Square.
Come and try a range of Olympic sporting activities, available within the Square from 12pm - 5pm, including: judo; equestrian; table tennis; modern pentathlon; hockey and wrestling. Full details are below:
