Best price guarantee
Minimum booking duration:
2 hours
Our pricing is simple and flexible. The hourly rate applies consistently throughout the day (9am–10pm), allowing you to plan your event with clarity and ease.
For bookings over 4 hours, we recommend getting in touch directly, as we may be able to offer a more suitable half-day or full-day rate depending on your needs and timings.
As a not-for-profit organisation, MyEdinburgh (part of Challenges Worldwide) manages the space in a similar way to an Airbnb-style venue. The Bakery is a dedicated event space rather than a staffed office environment, meaning users have exclusive access during their booking.
We trust all guests to respect the space and leave it clean and tidy as they found it. To support this, we provide clear Terms & Conditions along with a Welcome Pack to guide you through access, use of the space, and closing procedures.
If additional on-site support is required (e.g. help with setup, access, or hosting), this can be arranged in advance—just let us know what you need.
By booking the Bakery, you are also supporting MyEdinburgh’s wider mission: bringing people together to collaborate, connect, and help Edinburgh thrive.

Great space, lovely bright and airy room, walking distance to train stations and key Edinburgh landmarks and places to eat. Access to kitchen/tea and coffee, host very friendly and helpful. This room had everything my team and I needed for a few hours of creative brainstorming
