The Standard: The Front Shop

This is the most modern High Street unit in Dumfries. Its size and versatility make it ideal for a range of uses, from pop-up shops and small exhibitions, to drop-in events and showcases. This space can also be hired in tandem with our event space, with a link between the two offering a range of opportunities.

The Standard: The Green Room

Our modern, fully-accessible and flexible ground floor event space is accessed from Standard Close, off Dumfries High Street. With the option to divide into two rooms - and with kitchen facilities - it is ideal for events, workshops, meetings and exhibitions.

The Standard: The Garden Room

Our bright and welcoming Garden Room is a light-filled, conservatory-style space. With large windows and a calm atmosphere, it provides an ideal setting for meetings, workshops and small group sessions, or as a peaceful office for the day. The room features a large table with seating for up to six people.

The Press

The Press, located next to the landmark Midsteeple, is ideal for pop-up shops, small market-type showcases and drop-in events. Its open window spaces offer fantastic promotional opportunities. The building has played host to small exhibitions as well as being a venue for workshops and community activities. Rates start from as little as £20 per day.
