Leith Theatre
Leith Theatre, an Art Deco landmark gifted to the people of Leith in 1920, has long been a cornerstone of the area’s cultural life. Opened in 1932, it has hosted everything from rock legends like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy to community events and the Edinburgh International Festival. After decades of closure, the theatre is undergoing a vibrant revival, driven by the Leith Theatre Trust’s mission to restore and reimagine the space as a hub for music, theatre, and the arts. Its grand auditorium, striking period details, and excellent acoustics make it a sought‑after venue for live performance, film screenings, and creative festivals. Located in the heart of Leith, it offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary energy, drawing audiences from across the city and beyond. Today, Leith Theatre stands as both a living monument to the area’s heritage and a dynamic stage for Edinburgh’s cultural future.
