About The Queen's Hall

The Queen's Hall is a grassroots music venue in Newington, Southside, Edinburgh with a standing capacity of approximately 900. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

The Queen's Hall books Classical, Jazz, Folk, Rock, World acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Edinburgh venue directory.

The Queen's Hall is one of Edinburgh's best-loved mid-size concert halls, set at 85–89 Clerk Street in the Southside/Newington (EH8 9JG). Built in 1823 as Hope Park Chapel and converted to a music venue in 1979, the former church now stages over 200 events a year across an exceptionally broad programme — classical and chamber music, jazz, folk, world and contemporary touring rock/pop — and is a key Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe venue. Its galleried hall holds up to 900 standing or 801 seated, with a full in-house production spec and technical team. A proper professionally-run room rather than a grassroots pub stage, it's a flagship stop for national and international touring artists in the capital.
