About Riddles Court
After five years of showing people around Riddles Court, I still discover new details in this old merchant's house. Tucked just off the Royal Mile, we're close enough to hear the city's heartbeat but far enough away to actually hear yourself think during meetings. The restoration work here was something special—they kept all the best period features while sneaking in the modern kit. Original wood paneling sits alongside state-of-the-art AV systems. Stone walls that have stood for centuries now have proper air conditioning keeping things comfortable. It's this blend that makes events here feel different. Our kitchen is properly equipped—not just a glorified warming cupboard—so your caterers can work their magic. Speaking of which, you can bring in whoever you want for catering. No restrictions, no preferred supplier lists. The AV setup handles everything from PowerPoint presentations to full DJ sets, and yes, we've got a proper dance floor for when things get lively. Accessibility was built in from the ground up during restoration, so everyone can enjoy the space. Fast WiFi throughout (tested by many a stressed conference organizer), flexible room layouts, and lighting that can shift from boardroom bright to party atmosphere at the touch of a button. Historic venues often come with compromises, but honestly? We've managed to dodge most of them. You get the atmospheric wow factor without sacrificing practicality. Whether you're planning a product launch, birthday bash, or strategy day, this place adapts. Drop me a line and come see for yourself. The building tells its story better than I ever could.
