Dovecot is a world-renowned tapestry studio, housed in a grand Victorian Baths, in the heart of Edinburgh. It’s a landmark centre for contemporary art, craft and design, and available to hire for special events. Established in 1912, Dovecot continues a century-long heritage of collaboration with international artists to make exceptional handwoven tapestries and gun-tufted rugs.

Dovecot has five versatile event spaces, allowing for all types of events including elegant banquets for up to 180, stylish drinks receptions for up to 500, meetings, and events. The expert Events Team at Dovecot work in partnership with caterers and production companies (audio visual specialists) to make your bespoke event come to life in our cultural and historic surroundings.

Alongside the tapestry studio, Dovecot run an exciting programme of exhibitions and events to further explore contemporary art, craft and design.

When you hire a space at Dovecot, your fee contributes toward the charitable mission of the Dovecot Foundation; established to ensure the long term future of tapestry weaving in Scotland.

The Ladies Baths is based on our first floor with access via the stairs or lift. The room is bright with large windows and a skylight. The space lends itself to conferences, away-days and workshops.

    Always an interesting place to go, have a coffee and then see the exhibits. Always interesting, giving pleasure and making you think about the art of weaving.
