Call for Scotland-wide food and drink producers for May, June and July Markets

An island food hub is seeking food, drink and street food producers from across Scotland to add to its roster of monthly Sunday markets on the Isle of Bute. The application form is now live and will close on Sunday 26th January.

Launched in June 2023 in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, Bute Yard is a contemporary space that showcases the best local food, drink, art and crafts the island has to offer. The organisers are now regularly providing a selected number of spaces for producers from across Scotland and would welcome queries for market stalls, food trucks and pop-up restaurants.

Just a short walk from the ferry terminal, the markets already host around 2,000 people at each event and have become a destination for locals and visitors to the island alike.

Applications are now open for:

Sunday 4th May 2025, 10am - 4pm

Sunday 1st June 2025, 10am - 4pm

Sunday 6th July 2025, 10am - 4pm

Businesses can apply for single or multiple markets using the Market Application Form and will be contacted if they are successful in February.

Bute Yard is a versatile covered space with an outdoor courtyard area. A multi-use venue with flexible and scalable event areas, the modular space features an open-plan bar service and impressive kitchen facilities. The space is also the permanent home to Bute Distillery and Bute Smoke House.
