The partner's word

AccessEA is a distinguished venue rooted in Edinburgh's rich educational heritage, with its oldest building's foundation stone laid in 1823. The venue spans two sites: Henderson Row, nestled in the heart of New Town, and Arboretum Road, located between the Botanic Gardens and Inverleith Park. The architecture reflects a blend of historic grandeur and modern functionality, offering a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for diverse events. The Main Hall at Henderson Row is a highlight, designed by the renowned nineteenth-century architect William Burn. This space features an oval plan with a shallow domed ceiling, timber-panelled entrance doors flanked by imposing Doric columns, and a clerestory window that bathes the room in natural light. The hall's lofty dimensions and elegant chandeliers create an atmosphere of occasion and grandeur, while its flexible layout accommodates weddings, dinners, speeches, and performances. Adjacent round-arched niches provide access to smaller breakout rooms and essential facilities. The Learning Commons combines historic and contemporary elements, uniting the traditional Library with the modern James Clerk Maxwell Science Centre. This space is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, making it ideal for conferences and meetings. It offers theatre-style seating for up to 200 guests and includes breakout areas and a small outdoor space suitable for BBQs or informal sessions. Situated in Edinburgh's New Town, the venue benefits from a prestigious and vibrant neighbourhood, close to cultural landmarks and green spaces. The combination of historic architecture, modern amenities, and versatile spaces makes AccessEA a compelling choice for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.
