Assembly Rooms Theatre

Description:

• The Assembly Rooms are run by the City of Edinburgh Council and are let for a variety of uses, including fashion shows, craft fairs, concerts and lectures. This evocative setting is also a major Fringe Festival venue, hosting some of Britain's best stand-up comedians and theatre groups. There are three fine sections in this impressive building. The Music Hall is the largest, featuring an ornate domed ceiling and an imposing chandelier, with the smallest and most intimate being the split-level Supper Room, which has wonderful parquet flooring. An 18th century Ballroom has a huge mirror and elegant drawing rooms. Check the venue and the local press for opening times and admission prices, which vary according to event.
