information SERVICE DETAILS

Polwarth Church has a range of facilities available for hire. As Polwarth - The Kirk on the Canal we are keen to offer a space in Edinburgh City for wholeness and wellbeing and are particularly interested to accommodate groups and people who share this interest in wellbeing be it physical, spiritual or emotional.

With the pews removed, the sanctuary is a flexible space for holding conferences, concerts, art shows etc. There is access for the less mobile to all accommodation. Please note that we do not let out the Sanctuary for ceilidhs or parties.

The facilities...

Church accommodation comprises:

- The Sanctuary (a large, rectangular 300-seating capacity space)
- A large 100 capacity hall (13.5m x 12m) known as the Drennan Hall and
- A small 30 capacity hall (9m x 5m) known as the Small Hall

The Sanctuary boasts a very fine acoustic for both choral and instrumental music. The main ‘nave’ area of the church has seating capacity for 300 people and there is a large area at the transept crossing for performers plus a large raised chancel area which is suitable for a large choir with orchestral accompaniment. There is also a Yamaha baby-grand piano, which along with the organ can be used for accompanying concerts.

For further information about Polwarth as a music venue, please contact the Director of Music at music@polwarth.org.uk.
