King's Hall, Church building in Southside, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
King's Hall is a church building in south Edinburgh with two event spaces of different sizes. The main hall accommodates around 450 people spread across two levels, while the smaller hall suits more intimate gatherings, outfitted with sound equipment, video projectors, and kitchen facilities.
The building was constructed in 1843 as Newington Free Church and has shaped the neighborhood since then. In 1907, a local distiller funded major renovations that enhanced its Scottish Gothic architectural style.
The building functions as a place of worship year-round and transforms into a performance venue during the Edinburgh Festival, where you can experience various artistic shows. This dual use has made it an important gathering space for both spiritual and cultural exchange in the city.
The building has free internet access and is equipped with modern amenities for various event types. The two halls allow flexible use depending on how many visitors are expected and what kind of gathering is planned.
During the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, the building transformed into House of Oz and featured Australian artists and performances. This temporary transformation shows how flexibly the spaces can adapt to international cultural projects.
