Church Hill Theatre

Church Hill Theatre is a performance venue inside a converted church building in Edinburgh, distinguished by its pink sandstone exterior. The space includes a traditional auditorium and hosts regular stage productions throughout the year.

The building was constructed in 1905 as a church and underwent major conversion to a theatre space during the 1960s. This transformation established it as a significant venue for theatrical performances in Scotland.

The venue hosts numerous amateur theatre companies throughout the year, shaping its programming with local talent and community performances. During the Edinburgh Festival, it becomes a central venue for additional productions and experimental theatre work.

The venue is located on Morningside Road and has specific entry requirements for visitors, particularly regarding children under 16 years old. It is advisable to check the policies in advance if planning to bring young audience members.

The building is classified as a Category B listed structure and retains its original pink sandstone facade while operating as one of Scotland's primary venues for non-professional theatre. This blend of historic architecture and contemporary use makes it a notable example of adaptive reuse in Edinburgh.
