Leys Estate is giving small businesses or arts and crafts enterprises the opportunity to let a ‘Pop-Up’ shop unit this autumn.

The Estate is offering individuals, organisations and businesses, the chance to occupy a ‘Pop-Up’ shop at its Milton of Crathes complex on the outskirts of Banchory between now and the New Year.

The unit, which occupies the building adjacent to the Milton Art Gallery, is suitable for a wide range of uses and is ideal for small businesses, artists and crafts people looking for unique retail, studio or workshop space on a short-term basis to showcase their wares.

Available for rent on a weekly or weekend basis, the estate hopes that the pop-up unit will provide a much needed opportunity for local entrepreneurs to showcase their products, crafts and talents during what has been a challenging time for the retail sector.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the unit should email [email protected] or call 01330 826506

Businesses at the Milton of Crathes complex currently include Milton Art Gallery, Milton Brasserie, The Salt Sanctuary and TwinPeakes Fishing.
