FUNCTION VENUES CASE STUDY The Cow Shed Crail Diversifying from farming activity The Cow Shed Crail offers a blank canvas for weddings and a full event planning service for corporate days Located in a picturesque corner of Fife, The Cow Shed Crail puts its dairy farm heritage pride of place with a marquee covered steading and plenty of options for ceremonies and corporate functions. We talk to Jo Trust about keeping the local community happy and how the venue survived the ‘Beast from the East’. When did you start your venue business and what is its history? The Cow Shed has been a part of the Logan family for over 70 years. Originally used to house the calves for a dairy, it was an important part of a working dairy farm. The dairy closed its doors in the 1980s but we have given The Cow Shed a new lease of life and we were excited to open its doors as a venue in January 2016. The Cow Shed operates next to an arable farm run by the family, “FOR WEDDINGS WE JUST PROVIDE THE VENUE AS A BLANK CANVAS BUT WITH A POINT OF CONTACT ON DUTY THROUGH- OUT THE EVENT” which still farms potatoes, broccoli and wheat, providing an element of diversification. Tell us about your location and site The Cow Shed is located on the outskirts of Crail in the East Neuk of Fife, a beautiful corner of Scotland with stunning beaches, traditional fishing villages and pretty harbours… oh, and not forgetting a huge selection of golf courses too! It is full of original features and character, and enjoys sea views across the Firth of Forth to the Bass Rock and East Lothian - the perfect backdrop to our “blank canvas” venue. What facilities for functions do you offer? We have three flexible indoor spaces: a steading marquee, L-shaped indoor workshop and a barn, both of which have beautiful vaulted ceilings. We also have a lovely sheltered courtyard with original cow shed arches as a feature and an outdoor patio area with a large grass lawn. The venue also has a large car park. We have a sister company which rents out self catering cottages and can sleep up to 44 within walking distance of the venue. What services do you offer? For weddings we just provide the venue as a blank canvas but with a point of contact on duty throughout the event. Couples are welcome to have ceremonies inside or outside, depending on the weather. We don’t offer catering but are happy to advise on some great
