The story of Studio 132
Studio 132 is one of the venues that gives Forfar its distinctive cultural character. Whether it is best known for live music, theatre, community events or hospitality, it has become a familiar landmark for locals and a genuine reason to visit for people travelling from across Scotland and beyond. Like many venues in Forfar, Studio 132 reflects the wider story of the town — a story shaped by generations of audiences, performers and staff who have passed through its doors.
Over the years Studio 132 has hosted a wide mix of programming — from grassroots local nights to touring artists and family favourites. Venues like this play an important role in keeping Forfar's cultural calendar alive year-round, complementing the seasonal festivals and outdoor events that Scotland is famous for.
If you are planning a first visit, Studio 132 is easy to combine with a day out in Forfar: independent cafés, restaurants and shops are typically within a short walk, and the venue is a natural anchor point for exploring the surrounding area. For regular visitors, following the venue's upcoming schedule is the best way to catch new tours, festival dates and one-off performances before they sell out.
Facilities
Facilities at Studio 132 typically include seating, toilets, cloakroom, a licensed bar and step-free access to the main event space. As with most Forfar venues, exact facilities can vary by event — for example, seated versus standing configurations, food and drink availability, or age restrictions. If a specific facility matters for your visit (a hearing loop, quiet space, buggy storage), it is worth confirming with the venue before you travel.
Parking near Studio 132
On-street parking around Studio 132 is typically pay-and-display and can fill up quickly on event nights. Nearby public car parks in Forfar usually offer better value for evening events, and some are free after early evening. If you are attending a busy show, plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to find a space and walk to the venue. For long stays, look for a car park in Forfar with 24-hour access rather than short-stay bays.
Public transport
Studio 132 is served by local buses running through Forfar, and by ScotRail trains from Edinburgh, Glasgow and other Scottish cities to the nearest mainline station. For the most reliable, up-to-date journey planning, use Traveline Scotland for bus and multi-modal routes, and ScotRail for train times. Late-night services can be limited after events, so it is worth checking return options before you set off.
Accessibility
Studio 132 aims to be welcoming to all visitors. Most comparable venues in Forfar offer step-free access to the main space, accessible toilets and dedicated seating positions for wheelchair users and companions. If you have specific access requirements — for example a personal assistant ticket, assistance dog, or sensory-friendly performance — contact the venue directly, ideally when you book. That gives the team time to arrange the best seats and any additional support you need.
