Events Space

Exceptional events and successful entertaining require a unique venue. Visit our contemporary venue with a unique ethical, social and heritage twist. The centre is flexible, inspiring and located in the heart of Edinburgh.

Grassmarket Centre is an architectural award-winning, city-centre location and social enterprise venue within the Grassmarket area. Nestled at the foot of Candlemaker Row, the Centre marries the historical Greyfriars Kirkhouse with a light and spacious modern venue.

Our main event space, meeting room and other spaces are available for a wide variety of events. Our onsite café provides additional opportunity for your guests to enjoy our centre.

Your event

We cater for a wide variety of private and professional events. Whether you are looking for a space to hold your special day – weddings, christenings, ceilidhs and parties or somewhere to hold a memorable conference, AGM, group meeting, book signing, training day, fashion show or film screening, our event spaces come with excellent service and facilities.

All events are personalised around your individual needs to maximise the impact of your event. If you require catering, bespoke menus can be devised by our versatile kitchen team, ranging from buffets to canapé receptions, and a full dining experience. We are also available to provide a fantastic catering offering at a venue of your choice. We hold a theatre license and our main event space is fully equipped with state of the art sound and lighting equipment. Technical assistance can be provided.

Our standard event booking form and terms & conditions are available here. These can be tailored to meet your requirements. Suggested catering packages and example menus are available upon request. We can also cater for your events held at other locations too.
