Assembly Rooms

This elegant 18th century building, situated in Edinburgh's New Town, is a mixed use venue owned and managed by Edinburgh City Council. It has become one of the Edinburgh Fringe's top venues, run by Assembly, in August and is the scene of ceilidhs, fairs, dances, and other special events year round.

After a long wait, a controversial, £9.5 refurbishment of The Assembly Rooms was approved by Council in December 2010. The building will have shops and a restaurant installed at ground level.

The Assembly Rooms will be closed for refurbishment until the Summer of 2012.
