Here, you can gather those you love for grand dinners and galas to exhibitions and workshops. There is space for up to 145 of your guests, meaning that you can host events both big and small at the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

The Wellcome East grand gallery style room has high ceilings, jewel toned carpet and chandeliers, making it a wonderful event space for lectures, drinks receptions and exhibitions. The Kelvin Room is regal in its design and features red velvet wallpaper, meaning it's suitable for sophisticated gatherings and formal dinners. If you're planning a formal presentation or hosting a lecture, choose the Wolfson Lecture Theatre to enjoy a bright and air conditioned space that is well designed for learning and creative thinking. The Scott Room is gold and opulent, and offers a historical backdrop for board meetings and formal receptions, whilst the MacRobert Room showcases the intellectual heritage of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and is designed for grand affairs.

A more relaxed meeting space, the Auerbach Room has a large window looking onto George Street and a space big enough for a workshop or seminar, whilst the Swann Room on the lower ground floor is bigger in size, and a fantastic option for hosts who are looking to put on training courses or interviews. The Tweed Room is one of the meeting spaces on the top floor and is one of the smallest event spaces, with a TV and boardroom style table.
