The main event’s over but in Edinburgh, the real stories start after midnight. Down stone staircases off the Royal Mile or behind unmarked doors in New Town, you’ll find after party venues built for late laughs, louder tunes, and one last round or three. Maybe it’s a ceilidh crowd that’s not done dancing, a conference crew swapping lanyards for lagers, or a gig night that deserves a whisky-soaked finale. Scroll down, your next chapter kicks off here.
Booking costs of after party venues average £35 per person. Costs vary depending on guest capacity, popularity, location, and amenities like sound systems or bar services. Extra charges may apply for custom catering, decor, or event planning services. Packages with add-ons, such as DJs, photo booths, or other entertainment services, can also increase the overall cost.
