Situated in a beautifully renovated Victorian swimming baths in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Edinburgh, our venue effortlessly combines historic features with contemporary style. Dovecot Tapestry Studio works to private and public commission with internationally renowned artists and designers, whilst Dovecot Gallery curates a vibrant programme of exhibitions and events to complement the collaborative ethos of the Studio. This creative environment with an intriguing history makes Dovecot one of Edinburgh’s most unique venues for hire and provides an exclusive experience for you and your guests. The venue hire fee directly contributes towards the charitable mission of the Dovecot Foundation, which was established to ensure the long term future of tapestry weaving in Scotland.
