The Queen's Hall

A city-centre concert hall with a busy live-music calendar. Folk nights and acoustic sets sit alongside jazz, big-band swing and touring roots artists. Intimate acoustic shows and larger orchestral or school concerts share the stage. Easy to reach from the Old Town.

The Queen's Hall is a central Edinburgh venue hosting a steady mix of folk, acoustic, jazz and world music. You’ll find both small trio gigs and larger concerts such as summer school showcases or orchestral jazz nights. The room feels warm and musical rather than flashy. Programmes range from traditional fiddle and Celtic sessions to jazz giants and revival swing bands. It attracts touring artists as well as local ensembles and music schools. The setting near the city centre makes it a good stop before or after a walk in the Old Town.
