Bute Yard

Description

A SPACE FOR COLLABORATION IN THE HEART OF ROTHESAY.

 

Bute Yard is a collaborative project developed in partnership between Johnny Bute and the Isle of Bute Gin Company to create a flexible commercial space in the heart of Rothesay. Utilising both interior and exterior spaces, the Yard is an opportunity for Bute based businesses to create or expand their physical presence on our island.

The Yard will include a gin distillery, bar, pop-up café facilities, and flexible event space which will be open for business year round. The main building will open out into a dynamic outside space which will be used to host farmers markets, food and community events and as a venue which can support and complement significant long standing local events such as the Bute Highland Games, the Agricultural Show, Bute Fest and other community led initiatives.

With collaboration from Mount Stuart Trust and the Rothesay Pavilion Trust, Visit Bute, Fyne Futures, Argyll & Bute Council and other island stakeholders Bute Yard will work closely with island businesses and within the existing calendar of Bute events to ensure that Bute Yard is a functional and proactive member of the island’s business community.
