Church Hill Theatre

Church Hill Theatre

Church Hill Theatre

The Church Hill Theatre might be less centrally located than Edinburgh’s other major theatres, but it’s a far from forgotten part of the city’s performing arts scene. A major renovation has recently improved facilities, and as well as being a popular Fringe venue, it’s an important performance space for local theatre groups for the rest of the year.

Hermitage of Braid Nature Reserve

This local beauty spot is often overlooked in favour of Edinburgh’s other natural attractions, like the Botanic Gardens, but it has plenty to offer visitors. Picturesque Blackford Pond, Wildflower Meadow and Agassiz Rock are captivating, while walks and watching sessions are sure to appeal to nature lovers. Explore the surroundings to discover the Ice House and the Doocot in the Walled Garden.
