theSpace on North Bridge
Located where the Royal Mile meets North Bridge the venue is located perfectly for Fringe audiences. And, with our other theatres at theSpace on the Mile, theSpace @ Venue 45 and theSpace on Niddry St all just a few yards away, we are pleased to be able to offer audiences a wonderful theatre hub right at the centre of the festival.
