CANVAS: The exciting new events space that will transform Dundee’s West End

Dundee’s West End has a fresh new space to shout about — CANVAS, a dynamic taproom and multi-purpose venue brought to life by the team behind 71 Brewing.

Located in their iconic red brick home on Ure Street, CANVAS is far more than just a spot to enjoy locally brewed beer. It’s a bold new addition to the city’s cultural scene — a venue designed for creativity, connection and community.

From exhibitions and gigs to relaxed socials and private hires, CANVAS is positioning itself as one of Dundee’s most versatile event spaces.

This weekend sees the return of the taproom on Friday and Sunday, while Saturday welcomes a brand new event – Sole Daze – a soulful spin-off for fans of funk, disco and laid-back vibes.

Kicking off with live music in the beer garden, the event shifts indoors as night falls, bringing the party to the heart of CANVAS until midnight.

The space is also proudly championing Dundee’s independent spirit, with appearances from local favourites like Jim’s Delhi Club, Landospex, and Thirteen Records offering food, pop-ups, and more.

In a nod to inclusivity, Sole Daze is child-friendly until 7pm, with free entry for under-18s — making it a welcoming place for families as well as late-night revellers.

With more events already on the horizon — including the upcoming Dundee Brew Fest — CANVAS is setting the tone for what could be one of the city’s most exciting cultural developments this year.
