About Main Space
180 Banquet
650 Theatre
400 Standing / Reception
150 Cabaret
The pipe organ's majestic presence sets the tone for every event in our Main Space, where wooden arches sweep upward to meet an intricately carved ceiling. We've watched this extraordinary room transform from Sunday worship to Saturday celebrations, each configuration bringing out different qualities of the architecture that has graced York Place for generations. Theatre-style, we accommodate 650 guests with every seat offering clear sightlines to our prominent stage. Corporate presentations benefit from the same acoustics that carry our choir's voices, while our AV team manages projectors and microphones with the expertise gained from years of hybrid services. Round tables for 180 create an entirely different atmosphere for banquets, where the stained glass windows cast coloured light across white linens as evening approaches. Cabaret arrangements for 150 work particularly well here, combining dining with entertainment in a way that encourages conversation between performances. Standing receptions flow naturally through the space, with 400 guests finding comfortable corners for networking beneath the soaring arches. Our glass foyer entrance provides the perfect registration area, keeping arrivals smooth even for capacity events. We've installed a comprehensive PA system throughout, and our technical team remains on hand to adjust sound levels or troubleshoot connections. The hearing loop ensures everyone participates fully, while step-free access from street level means equipment arrives without fuss. Conference organisers appreciate our 6ft rectangular tables for panel discussions, while our 4ft rounds suit workshops requiring group interaction. York Place tram station sits just around the corner, making arrival straightforward for guests travelling from across Edinburgh. Natural light streams through our historic windows during daytime events, though blackout options exist for presentations requiring controlled lighting. Each booking supports our community programmes, turning your celebration or conference into a contribution to Edinburgh's social initiatives.
