The Cow Shed Crail
Situated near ‘The Home of Golf’, St Andrews, The Cow Shed Crail has been praised by many for its flexibility – supporting this, the venue states that ‘The Cow Shed is the perfect “blank canvas” venue for you to add your personality to and make it a truly unique occasion.’
With its onsite accommodation, indoor and outdoor spaces, this venue is ideal for those who don’t want the traditional small gathering experience, but something more personal.
V&A Dundee
The only other V&A Museum in the UK, outside of London… With its distinctive architecture and the surroundings of calming waters, V&A Dundee is Scotland’s first design museum which only opened its doors to visitors in 2018.
As well as acting as a museum, the modern building also operates as an events venue for a range of events. The advantage of the venue is its capacity. The venue is available to hire out for ‘large-scale’ celebrations – this could be an option for those looking to host a large number of guests at their event, all within this iconic building!
