Augustine's

Postal Address: 41 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EL

Augustine's (known the rest of the year as Augustine United Church) is located on George IVth Bridge. It is a "working" church, but during the Festival it is adapted to provide two performance spaces.

The public area of the building is on two levels. On the entrance level is a large reception area, which houses the Box Office and Coffee Bar, and the Sanctuary, a large studio with raked seating for 110. Extra seats can be added on the floor in front of the rake to bring the total capacity up to 120. There are public toilets on this level. This level will probably also contain the PGP office. There is also a toilet in the Vestry. This is out-of bounds to both the public and PGP staff. The Sanctuary has a balcony (not a public access area), which is where the control desks for the sound and lighting are located, and which is used for storing large set and props.

On the lower level is a 105 seater studio space. The main kitchen is on this level. There are toilets for staff and theatre company members and these are also used as part of the dressing room facilities.

The very bottom level of the building has a further toilet, a small store, and an exit to Merchant Street (which passes underneath George IV Bridge to join Candlemaker Row). The store area is used as part of the dressing room facilities.

Disabled access to the George IV Bridge entrance level (including the Sanctuary) is reasonable, with a ramp available for wheelchair users.

The church has a lift from the George IV Bridge Street Level to the Lower Level. This is used during the festival for disabled access to the studio. Access to the rest of the lower level (eg the office) is by staircase only when the studio is in use.

The Vault

Postal Address: 11 Merchant St, Edinburgh, EH1 2QD

The Vault is located near the end of Merchant St, just off the Grassmarket. Originally a warehouse this has been redeveloped with the intention of running this building as a permanent venue. Disabled access within this venue is good, with an internal lift available between the road and performance levels.

The Annexe is also located here. For this year the disabled access will be poor as all the entrances are 5 steps up from street level.

Greyfriars Kirk House

Postal Address: 86 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh EH1 2QA

Greyfriars Kirk House is not running as a venue this year because of redevelopment work. It hoped that it will return as a fringe venue some time soon.
