An imposing building eminently suited to its elevated surroundings on the Mound, the Assembly Hall is an unforgettable location for your event.

As the erstwhile home of the Scottish Parliament, the venue is steeped in history. The oval-shaped hall can seat up to 1,000 people in its tiered galleries and we can offer broadcasting and voting facilities, plus full technical support.

Rainy Hall is an additional space within the New College quad and is linked to the Assembly Hall. With high ceilings, wood panelling and coats of arms adorning the walls, this venue provides the perfect atmosphere for dinners, meetings and drinks receptions.
