Our Venues |

TEVIOT- In 2001 Gilded Balloon took over Teviot Row
House in Bristo Square and created five new performance spaces
creating a hugely significant addition to the Fringe. In 2002
we moved our flagship show Late 'n' Live to the Debating Hall
at Teviot and created a sixth space in the building - The Balcony.
2004 saw the addition of another venue - The Sportsmans and in 2006 the eighth venue was introduced, aptly named - The Wee Room. As
well as the eight venues, there are five public bars, an exclusive
Performers/Press bar and an outside Cafe/Bar. |
