Community events
From arts and crafts fairs to temporary exhibitions and graduations to receptions and small meetings, we've got flexible spaces and venue hire solutions delivered by our dedicated events teams, to make your event a stand-out success every time. We can guarantee venues rich in history, in central locations, and equipped with the latest production technology.
Assembly Rooms
There is nothing quite like the glamour of a black-tie event in fabulous surroundings at the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town – and that is what the Assembly Rooms provide. The elegant architecture, shimmering chandeliers and stunning period features of the Assembly Rooms make us the perfect venue for red carpet dinners, drinks receptions, product launches, and award ceremonies. Hold your main event in the Music Hall, and a gala dinner in the Ballroom. Stage an elegant evening reception in either space or both. There’s plenty of room for your guests to socialise freely between the various rooms, while our events team deliver the exceptional service you – and your guests – deserve.
