General venue access
We are committed to making your visit to Summerhall an enjoyable experience and we are working to make our venue as accessible as possible. The building is B-listed and is over one hundred years old and not all of our spaces are fully accessible.
If coming into Summerhall using the main entrance please be aware that there are nine steps up to reception and the steps do not have a handrail.
Our step-free access is through the side entrance on Summerhall Square. The Royal Dick Bar and Restaurant is situated to your right as you come in (with a ramp at the rear of the bar) and there is a ramp directly ahead of you that leads to the reception, box office, shop and café and our accessible venues.
Although there is no on-site parking at Summerhall, especially during the Fringe, there is parking using either pay and display machines or single yellow line spaces on Summerhall Square beside our step free access. Please be aware that this street is a dead end, and quite short and therefore parking there can be quite competitive.
We have lift access to some of the first floor spaces and the basement spaces. Further information about individual spaces and shows can be obtained from the box office. If you would like more information about the accessibility of particular shows, or if you wish to arrange a familiarisation tour of the venue prior to the festival, please contact us by phone on 0131 560 1581 or by email on [email protected]
Our staff are here to help and if there is anything you need assistance with please do not hesitate to ask.
