About this space

This space is ideal for larger workshops and events. This ground floor venue is fully accessible with lots of natural light and comes equipped with a projector, screen, PA system, flipchart and breakout spaces.

We can accommodate approx. 50 people in an open plan set up without any chairs. If theatre style is required, we can accommodate up to 40 people, or 25 with cabaret style layout.

Usually available evenings (after 5pm), weekends and early mornings (7.30 - 10.00 am). Please get in touch to check different availability.

Single serving tea and coffee is included for all attendees on arrival. Additional catering options can be added, including biscuits, cakes, sandwiches, soup and more. Please get in touch to arrange.

Our half-day and full-day rates are more cost-effective than the hourly rate. We also offer a 20% discount on Mondays and Fridays, as well as a 10% discount for registered Scottish charities. If a booking is beyond your budget, please get in touch - we’ll do our best to accommodate you!
