Dating from 1783, this first class building in Edinburgh’s New Town became a principal performing arts venue vital to social and artistic life within the City. Today, the Assembly Rooms are far from being a state-of-art entertainment destination. The City of Edinburgh Council has the vision to change this and plan to reinvigorate the venue to its former glory, adding a destination restaurant and upmarket retail offerings as part of a £9m redevelopment.
