The Assembly Rooms are meeting halls in central Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally solely a meeting place for social gatherings, it is now also used as an arts venue and for public events, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Hogmanay celebrations. There are four rooms, with moveable chairs or tables, that are used year-round and are available for private functions: Music Hall, Ballroom, Supper Room and Edinburgh Suite.
The total meeting space, as remodeled in 2012, covers 4,600 m2 (50,000 sq ft).[1] The building is protected as a category A listed building as "an outstanding example of the late 18th century public building, continuing its original use".[2]
