Can I bring in outside catering?
Due to our food and hygiene regulations, we do not allow groups to bring in outside catering. We do offer a range of catering options from our approved caterers, or individuals are welcome to bring in their own packed lunches.

Who qualifies for the concession rate?
Our concession rate charges apply to all small charities and grass-roots groups, except when they themselves are charging more than a modest fee to cover costs, in which case our standard rate charges will apply. Our standard rate charges apply to use by commercial organisations, statutory bodies (e.g. local authorities), large charities and by those organising events for fund-raising purposes. We define large charities to be those with an income of over the accounting threshold of £250,000 averaged over the previous three years.

Can I come look around?
Yes, you are very welcome to come and look around the building. Please get in touch with the office to organise a suitable time.
Is there parking?
Due to our central location, there is very limited parking nearby. However we are easily accessible by public transport, as we are within walking distance from bus stops on George IV bridge, North Bridge, Princes Street, and Waverley train station.
