About St. Cecilia's Hall
When you step into St. Cecilia's Hall on Niddry Street, you're walking into Scotland's oldest purpose-built concert hall—and we think you'll feel the difference the moment you hear the first note played here. Our acoustics aren't just good; they're the kind that make musicians come back again and again, whether for intimate chamber concerts or full-scale performances. We've been hosting events at number 50 since the building first opened its doors, and over the years we've perfected the art of making every gathering special. The concert room remains our centerpiece, where the sound quality transforms even simple speeches into something memorable. Throughout our halls, you'll find our collection of historical musical instruments—not tucked away behind glass, but integrated into the spaces where your guests will mingle and celebrate. Our Edinburgh Old Town location puts us right in the heart of things, just a short walk from Waverley Station. The major bus routes stop practically at our doorstep, making it simple for your guests to reach us. We've made sure everyone can enjoy what we offer—our halls are fully wheelchair accessible, and we welcome assistance dogs. While we're known for concerts and musical performances, we regularly transform our spaces for all kinds of parties and celebrations. We've hosted everything from milestone birthdays where guests performed their own concerts, to corporate celebrations that blend presentations with live entertainment. The combination of our acoustic excellence and historic atmosphere creates something you won't find in a typical party venue—your celebration becomes part of our continuing story.
