Church Hill Theatre
Housed in a striking pink sandstone former church in Morningside, Church Hill Theatre is one of Edinburgh’s leading venues for non‑professional performance. Built in 1892 as Morningside Free Church and converted into a theatre in the 1960s, it has since become home to many of the city’s amateur dramatic, musical, and operatic companies. Owned by the City of Edinburgh Council, the 353‑seat auditorium and smaller function spaces host a lively year‑round programme, from classic plays and contemporary drama to concerts, dance, and community events. The theatre is also a popular venue during the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe, attracting audiences from across the city and beyond. Following an extensive refurbishment completed in 2006, the building combines historic character with modern facilities, including full accessibility and a welcoming bar. With its rich heritage, supportive atmosphere, and diverse programme, Church Hill Theatre remains a cherished hub for Edinburgh’s vibrant performing arts scene.
