The Corner is a new award winning community and event space in Darvel, offering 1200 sqm of canopied and outdoor areas, ideal for public events such as craft fairs, markets, performances, and private parties.
The inaugural event at The Corner was Darvélo in June 2023, a warm-up for the UCI World Cycling Championship. Following this, we have hosted regular markets, special events including Halloween and Christmas Specials, Summer Session live music, and the recent Darvélo ’25.
Our venue features a performance stage, sound system, tables, and chairs to create your perfect event. For safety, we have CCTV and ample evacuation paths. The modern, wheelchair-friendly space accommodates both large and small events and includes power points, water access, and temporary toilets on or near the site.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the best that Darvel has to offer. Book The Corner now!

Local volunteers from Darvel Area Regeneration Team (DART) have converted the formerly abandoned site of the Darvel Industrial Cooperative Society into a new gathering place for the community.
After embarking on a community-asset transfer, DART informed their plans by issuing questionnaires and hosting activity groups with the community. The build process was then entirely managed by a project team of local volunteers, who successfully secured the £500,000 required for the build.
Today, the Corner has a sloping site with upper and lower terraces, with the transitional site becoming an amphitheatre. The lower terrace also contains the Canopy, an all-weather shelter.
Since its opening, The Corner has become a popular venue for regular events and markets, as well as a place for people to gather and chat. In its first 6 months of operation, it has hosted 12 formal events involving over 200 local vendors and over 4,000 visitors. Events have included a Halloween Special, Christmas Fayre, as well as meetings of Brownies, Scouts, walkers and cyclists.
