THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS The construction of The Assembly Rooms began with the laying of the foundation stone on 14th May 1783. Just as the New Town itself the design of the new building was decided by a competition and the winner John Henderson collected the first prize of 25 guineas. Halfway through contruction however, John
Henderson died and the responsibility for completing the work fell
to his father, David an accomplished mason who had previously worked
with Robert Adam building Register House. Today the Assembly rooms is a
unique and flexible venue ideal for any function offering four
rooms; Music Hall, Supper Room, Ballroom and The Edinburgh Suite
to accommodate a variety of gatherings including exhibitions, dinner
dances, wedding receptions and civil ceremonies. It is used extensivley
during the festival months for Theatre, Comedy and Dramatic Performances. |
