Located at the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe, Gilded Balloon operates a number of venue spaces with varying capacities and specs suitable for all show genres. Teviot Row House, our beloved neo-gothic performance hub, is back for 2026 and we cannot be more excited to cover it in hot pink once again! Alongside this, we will have our fabulous Patter House and the Auditorium, in the world-renowned National Museum of Scotland, will also return in full force to house our 2026 programme. This year we also have another exciting addition to our performance spaces located downstairs in The Gilded Saloon, our brand-new year-round venue in collaboration with Paradise Palms and Kelburn Arts.
You can find venue plans and technical specifications for our 2026 performance spaces below. Please be aware that the specifications are subject to change as we move through the pre-production process. We will endeavour to keep companies updated, but if you have any concerns or questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch via admin@gildedballoon.co.uk.
