Great Dumfries High Street spaces available for hire

We have tremendous and affordable community-owned spaces available for rent in Midsteeple Quarter on Dumfries High Street.

Whether for a pop-up shop, exhibition, music gig - everything in between and so much more - our three buildings available for hire offer fantastic versatility and value, each with their own character. Our ownership model also means that we are able to offer a variety of timespans for lets - ranging from a two days to longer term. We are always happy and able to discuss individual requirements.

The Press, The Smithy and 109 High Street are some of the most accessible and prominent sites in the town centre, with great footfall that those using the spaces can benefit from.

The Press

An ideal space for larger events and gigs, boasting a large “front shop” with atmospheric former warehousing space to the rear. Fantastic versatility.
