Welcome to Bute Yard, a multi-use events venue with a taste for food and drink on the Isle of Bute.
(1)

Bute Yard, on Scotland’s Isle of Bute, is a modern, multi-use events venue with a taste for food & drink. It brings to life the vision of the late Johnny Bute, 7th Marquess of Bute, with its dual purpose of developing the Isle of Bute economy and its community through a collaborative approach. Bute Yard has partnered with the award-winning Isle of Bute Distillery, Bute Brew Co., Isle of Bute Smokehouse and ButeKitchen to bring the very best food & drink experiences Bute has to offer to the public, visitors and event organisers. Isle of Bute Distillery runs its distillery, including all tasting sessions and tours, from Bute Yard. The distillery’s relocation to Bute Yard also marks the return of Bute Brew Co, the island’s much-loved craft brewery, taking charge of the front bar. The Isle of Bute Smokehouse, founded in 1888 and still using Scotland’s oldest continuous production fish smoking kiln, will deliver smoked salmon, kippers and trout to order from Bute Yard. ButeKitchen, a local community initiative, will provide a range of delectable local and artisan foods and products to the public through market activities. A unique venue on the island, Bute Yard offers food & drink facilities, indoor and outdoor event spaces, as well as permanent and pop-up rental space. It’s ideal for special celebrations, markets, festivals, workshops, entertainment and community events. Follow us to keep your finger on the pulse of our progress and to ensure you don’t miss out on any opportunities to join us on this exciting journey!
