What better place to hold a celebration than one of Edinburgh’s landmarks with venue hire?
The Hub
The gothic spire of the Hub on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, built in the mid 1800s for the Church of Scotland as a parish church and General Assembly Hall, can be seen from as far afield as Arthur’s seat and Calton Hill.
Now used as a private events venue and the home of the Edinburgh International Festival, the Hub combines dramatic décor with state of the art audio-visual facilities to create a flexible meeting venue.
Events spaces at The Hub include the tranquil Dunard Library, the elaborately decorated Main Hall with fully sprung floor for evening dancing and ceilidhs, and the vibrant Café area, allowing for conferences and meetings, weddings and celebrations.

National Galleries Scotland
Each of the three venues, which combine to create the National Galleries of Scotland, is a landmark in its own right and has its own distinct character.
The neoclassical Scottish National Gallery, at the bottom of The Mound, was designed by William Playfair and offers the opportunity to celebrate to a background of Bottecelli, Cezanne, Constable and Titian amongst many others.
The gothic arched Great Hall of the The National Portrait Gallery, which is surrounded by an Ambulatory, is large enough to host a dinner for 250 guests against the warmth of the red sand stone and large oil paintings.
The Modern Art Gallery, split between two sites, sees the café of Modern One and its adjoining terrace transform into a stylish evening event space by night, whilst the towering ceilings of the Great Hall in Modern Two create an airy atmosphere for drinks receptions and dinners.
