Summerhall

The site houses multiple performance spaces, galleries, studios, and creative businesses, alongside a brewery, distillery, café, and lively courtyard. Known for championing innovative, challenging, and international work, it provides a supportive platform for artists at all stages of their careers. With its eclectic atmosphere and commitment to accessibility and sustainability, Summerhall offers visitors an unforgettable blend of history, creativity, and community spirit.
