Rosebank Distillery

You can take a board meeting, a 40-seat presentation or a client evening for up to 80 out of the office and into a working whisky distillery, with free parking beside the door and Edinburgh Airport about 30 minutes away by car or coach, according to the venue. Rosebank publishes a per-person price for each of its three corporate packages, so you can cost a meeting before you make the first call. The distillery sits on Camelon Road in Falkirk, on the Forth and Clyde canal. Its owner, Ian Macleod Distillers, says Rosebank was founded in 1840, closed in 1993, and began making spirit again on 5 June 2023 after a rebuild.

Event spaces and capacities

You book a package rather than a bare room, so the guest range, the space and what is laid on come together. Rosebank names three set-ups. The Rosebank Academy takes meetings of up to 18. The Academy with the Lounge takes conferences and presentations of 20 to 40. Exclusive hire of the whole distillery takes 40 to 80 and opens with drinks in the original distillery warehouse. The venue publishes no floor areas, no capacities by layout and no exhibition space.

Capacities as published by the venue in its corporate events sheet for 2026 to 2027, checked 5 November 2026. The sheet gives a guest range per package, not per layout.

Prices and what each package includes

You get a fixed per-person rate for each package, which makes it easy to compare against a hotel day rate. Academy meetings cost £25 per person, and the sheet says minimum numbers apply. Conferences and presentations in the Academy and Lounge cost £45 per person. Exclusive hire costs £50 per person in the afternoon or £60 in the evening. Both room packages include sole use of the space, a cloakroom, a registration desk with a welcome on arrival, AV connectivity, Wi-Fi, notepads and tea, coffee and biscuits. Exclusive hire adds the warehouse drinks reception, a tutored tasting of Rosebank 31 Year Old, space for presentations and networking, and room for your own event branding. The sheet does not say whether prices include VAT.

Getting there and parking

Your guests can drive straight in: the venue has a two-storey car park beside the distillery with spaces for cars and coaches, free to Rosebank visitors. It puts Edinburgh Airport about 30 minutes away by car or coach, and the centres of Glasgow and Edinburgh under an hour away. Falkirk High and Camelon stations are each about a 20-minute walk, local buses stop nearby, and the venue says several taxi firms work locally. The canal towpath outside is part of the 66-mile Forth and Clyde path between Glasgow and Edinburgh, so cyclists can arrive along it. Minibus or taxi transfers can be added to any package.

Catering, AV and accommodation

You do not have to find a caterer yourself: food comes through the venue’s preferred supplier as an extra on every package, with tea, coffee and biscuits already in the meeting and conference rates. Exclusive hire can add a bar. The room packages include AV connectivity and Wi-Fi, and the Academy is shown on the hire page with a wall screen above a long boardroom table. Optional extras include a distillery tour and tasting, a take-home bottle of whisky or, for exclusive hire, a gift bag. The travel trade page says private dining can be hosted in the Academy. Rosebank has no bedrooms. The venue says the distillery is fully wheelchair accessible, with lift access and level floors, and that AccessAble has surveyed it for a Detailed Access Guide.

Rosebank says it was named Tourism Destination of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards 2025, and that Rosebank 31 Year Old won Best in Show for whisky at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025.

What to ask before you book

• What is the minimum number for the £25 Academy meeting rate, and are the per-person prices quoted with or without VAT?
• How are the Academy and the Lounge laid out for 40 people, and can you see a seating plan for a theatre or cabaret set?
• Which days and hours can you hire? The distillery’s published visitor hours are 10:30am to 6pm, with Tuesdays and Sundays closed.
• What does the preferred caterer charge per head, and can guests who drive take their tasting measures away, as visitors on tours can?
• For exclusive hire of 40 to 80, does the AV in the warehouse and Lounge cover a presentation with microphones, and where can your branding go?
• How many coach spaces are in the car park, and can it be held for your group on the day?
