Our Spaces

The Scottish Storytelling Centre and John Knox House have lots of unique spaces where you can host your own event. We’ve had parties, conferences, workshops, arts events, wine tastings and even small weddings taking place in our venue.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the Centre and there is a lift providing full access to all floors of the building, with the exception of the upper floors of John Knox House.

Netherbow Theatre

Perfect for small-scale theatre and music productions, literary events, presentations, seminars and conferences.
