Semi-private area

About this space

Event / Cafe Space is a semi-private cafe area in The Old Drumbank Studios that functions as a compact, adaptable nook inside a multi-use studio building.

Design: The space has a modest scale and an informal layout, fitted with simple timber tables, mixed seating and hand-painted signage. The interior presents practical finishes and an unpretentious, craft-led character rather than formal decor.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi and a layout that supports casual seating or a standing flow. The area provides a PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ. The entrance is step-free and the space is wheelchair accessible, with accessible toilets on site.

Ideal for: Small creative teams and informal social groups seeking a relaxed, social gathering in a casual seated-or-standing layout.

What guests say: The space is welcoming and characterised by handmade touches and an artsy, community feel; the venue is also dog-friendly.
