About Grassmarket Centre

Grassmarket Centre is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

The Grassmarket Centre is a characterful event space located in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town. The venue brings together the original architecture of the former Greyfriars Kirkhouse with a bright, modern interior, creating a space with a strong sense of history and a contemporary feel.

The centre offers a variety of well-equipped spaces suitable for conferences, meetings, weddings, performances, and private celebrations. From light-filled boardrooms to a double-height hall for larger gatherings, each space is supported by professional service, catering options, and modern audio visual facilities.

Situated beneath Edinburgh Castle and surrounded by the lively Grassmarket area, the venue has a distinct sense of place and is easy to get to from across the city. It attracts corporate groups, community organisations, and private clients alike.

What sets the Grassmarket Centre apart is its social purpose. Operated by the Grassmarket Community Project, the venue is a social enterprise — meaning every event hosted directly supports programmes that help individuals facing social exclusion. Every booking contributes to something meaningful beyond the event itself.

The Grassmarket Centre offers a well-rounded combination of history, flexibility, and genuine social value — a venue with a clear purpose behind it.
