Venues & Travel

In 2010 Assembly is proud to unveil a magnificent new venue right in the middle of Princes Street Gardens. This venue in addition to our flagship venue the Assembly Rooms on George Street and the majestic Assembly Hall on The Mound, makes Assembly the center of the Fringe in the New Town. Within these venues we give you 10 theatres, 120 Shows and 6 Bars jam packed every day from 11am until 3am with the very best comedy, theatre, dance, music and exhibitions to be found anywhere on the Fringe. In addition Assembly also has a number of site specific performances that will occupy a restaurant, a bar, a bridal shop and even the local Aga showroom.

Contact 0131 623 3030 if you need specific access information. As our theatres are temporary venues, built for the Festival, we aim to give reasonable access as much as is practical. You can email: info@assemblyfestival.com to tell us about any specific requirements.

The Info Desk at Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street, has a large print version of our brochure during the festival.
