Birnam Arts & Cafe — Attraction in Scotland

Great facilities here! I was recently at my first event here last Saturday- Lizabett Russo, which was brilliant. Her voice is so enchanting!!

I've been here many times before. Many years ago when I was in Uni, during the summer before I started my 2nd year of studies I worked in the kitchen.

I have been in for tea/hot chocolate/lunch a good few times; all great! There is always a good selection to choose from.

I have also been to use the library/internet/computer/printing services. I have also been to a few classes/courses here; silversmith, felting, lino cutting/printing.

I was also here a little while back for an art exhibition (upstairs mezzanine, there are often exhibits here)

There is also a great shop where you can get keepsakes and gifts. There's lots of Beatrix Potter things. Be sure to visit the Beatrix...

Absolutely shocking unbelievable experience. We always loved to come to Dunkeld for a day out and visited this cafe. We loved the place with a beautiful scenery. Recently after the new art coordinator took over they decided to stop serving food upstairs, in the best bit of cafe. We understand that the coordinator values their art perhaps more than cafe visitor's experience. We live one hour drive from the place and we managed to visit Dunkeld and our favourite cafe again after long time today. They were short of staff and a lady behind the till was very stressed and panicking. One will understand that they had just a bad day. From my perspective they should not take it out on customers anyway. The woman was just so rude that she ruined all our experience and I doubt that we will ever visit...

We had our wedding reception at Birnam Arts and it was a magical day. Communication throughout the whole booking process and then on the day itself was excellent. They made sure that we thought of things that hadn't occurred to us and were flexibke about solutions for any issues that arose during the planning and set up. They were easily accomodating of our flower decorations and table lights which we delivered in advance, Champagne, Birnam Arts chilled these for us and the auditorium decorations ready for our ceilidh. Consequently, the day itself went without any problems and all the staff were fantastic. It meant we didn't have to worry about anything on the day. A fantastic venue...
