About Edinburgh First

Although the University of Edinburgh provides a world class academic environment to learn amongst one of the prettiest cities, it also offers an excellent space to enjoy conference style settings and events. The purpose built conference facilities for 300 people is in a great location, located in a venue that is steeped in history. There are a range of event spaces, from Pollock Estate and the Old Town Campus to other university locations.

Pollock Estate can host conferences for up to 300 delegates, and has three dedicated conference and event venues, including the purpose built John McIntyre Conference Centre and the characterful St Leonard's Hall. There are also beautifully landscaped gardens that you and your guests will be able to journey through throughout the day, or, you could ask about placing a marquee for an outdoor affair.

The Old Town Campus lies in the heart of the University quarter and is home to iconic venues such as the Playfair Library. Here, you can plan an event on an incredible scale, catering for up to a thousand guests. The Old Campus can provide space for plenary sessions, break out rooms as well as exhibition and catering areas.

It is easily accessible by foot and a short walk from Waverley Train Station and all the attractions Edinburgh has to offer. Work with the team at Edinburgh First to arrange the dream catering for your event, and during the summer months, delegates can make use of the University Campus accommodation, which is also a 20 minute walk from the Old Town Campus. Get in touch with the team today to plan your dream event in Edinburgh, no matter the occasion.
