The area
Address
Neighborhood: New Town
Suits and shopping bags rule the streets of New Town, until after dark when strappy dresses come out to play. This is the city’s central business district with its smaller offices, clothes boutiques, and many of the city’s flashiest restaurants and ritziest clubs. The architecture along roads like George Street helps give it a swank and formal feel: it’s a planned Georgian development of regal townhouses, geometric squares, and self-important statues. But it’s also a very wanderable neighborhood, with a healthy bustle at almost any time of day and fine people-watching in places like St Andrew's Square which fills with picnickers around lunch. You’ll also find a series of cheerful basement bistros on Hanover Street, while dark Rose Street has something of the feel of an undiscovered back alley and is chock-full of characterful pubs and small independent shops.

Booked a 2-1 Fringe 2023 show for four people only to end up with two full price tickets !
Apparently I had mistakenly asked for 2 different types of 2 for 1 tickets instead of 4.
When asking for 4 tickets it came up with the full price, so i adjusted it to 2 tickets to get the correct 2 for 1 total price.
Now the assembly rooms say their terms and conditions allow no flexibility to correct this to four tickets or refund my booking.Basically its my own stupid fault!
Not impressed to say the least and i think this is most probably a common mistake that happens a lot on the 2-1 fringe days that they are more than happy not to correct. Its financially to their advantage not to do so!
This was a gift for may parents 70th and I was also taking along my young son. Not now unfortunately as i cant afford the extra tickets!
Poor Show Assembly Halls...... THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST VISIT TO YOUR VENUE !!!!!!😤😤😤

I've visited the Assembly Rooms on a number of occasions with my most recent one being for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It's a great venue which lends itself to various events. I've also attended ceilidhs and political talks in the run up to the 2014 referendum at the Assembly Rooms. They're a bit of an Edinburgh institution and definitely worth a visit.

I attended an international conference (IFRRO World Congress) in this venue last week. Great venue with fantastic facilities.
Main halls allocated for plenary meetings/sessions, tea breaks, and evening receptions were very well arranged and was equipped. Smaller rooms for side meetings were equally good.
It was quite close to the good hotels where attendees could stay in with a few minutes walking distance.
