Artisan food, drink and craft marketplace The Yard to open second branch in Dundee following success in Perth

The beer garden at 71 Brewing will host the market.

A popular artisan creators market in Perth is launching a monthly Dundee edition featuring a host of producers from across the region.

The Yard marketplace has had a successful run in the city since the end of 2019, giving local artisan food, drink and craft makers a place to showcase their wares and meet customers face-to-face.

Now, from Saturday November 6, it will be opening up a similar outfit in Dundee.

Taking place in the beer garden area of 71 Brewing, in the Blackness part of the city, The Yard Dundee will be open from noon to 8pm on both November 6 and November 7.

Stine Hope

Organiser Stine Hope says she wants to test the waters in Dundee first and “start off small.”

Currently there are 11 stallholders signed up, with the view to adding more at future monthly markets.

The Perth event attracts around 450 people, however the same numbers are not expected initially at the Dundee launch.

She says: “We’ve got about 50-60 stalls in Perth now but we are starting in Dundee with about 10 for the first one.

“The markets will be once a month initially just to get it off the ground. We’ll do this November one then likely probably one at the start of December.

“The Yard in Perth is quite a bit bigger but I’m hoping to replicate the same kind of things.”

Similar vibe

Choosing 71 to be the host for the Dundee market was an easy decision for Stine, who claims the brewery has a similar “vibe” to the building where the Perth marketplace is held.

“The building is kind of similar to what we’ve got in Perth in terms of space,” she adds.

Bakes from Edna Mae Bakehouse, who will also be appearing at the market.

“The one in Perth is an old ice factory building and it’s traditional red brick, the same as 71 Brewing.

“It’s also got a similar vibe to the one in Perth and a yard space that we can use, as well as a covered drinks area.

“Obviously they have got their beer garden already set up so we’re just going to add a food truck, some tea and coffee and we’re going to start off with a small amount of stalls just to test it out and see if it works.”

Line-up of traders

Out of the 11 traders signed up for the launch event, three are food and drink traders with the majority being crafts or gift creators.

Some of the traders will be present across the full weekend, while others will just pop-up for one day.

More traders may sign up ahead of the event which will be free to attend, child-friendly and dog-friendly.

Stine continues: “There’s going to be no entry fee for the first market, it’s going to be free.

Fox Hat Food will be there from a food truck perspective, then the stall holders that we’ve agreed so far include Perthshire Scrubbery, Manifesto Coffee, Sam and Her Cam, who takes lovely pictures of Dundee.

Manifesto Coffee will be in attendance.

“There will also be Edna Mae Bakehouse, Lyndsey Currie Designs, jewellery maker Lydia Quinn, Rachel Toth ceramics, Go Zeco which is a pop-up refillery, then handmade by Hilda who makes jumpers for dogs.

“71 Brewing’s bar will also be open selling lots of their beers and we’ll have a DJ as well on both days.”
