DoubleTree by Hilton Conference Centre, 34 Bread St, EH3 9AF

Venue Description

Engage with the action and discover the unknown at our new venue on Bread Street, specialising in immersive, interactive and installation performance. Part of the vibrant vivacious variety of C ARTS: a curated programme of international independent work taking place at multiple city-centre locations, and online, in our 33rd year at the Fringe. It’s a festival all of its own. Make sure you see it all.

What makes this venue special?

C arbor, in the conference centre at the Doubletree by Hilton on Bread Sreeet, has a central location between the Grassmarket and Lothian Road, very close to our C aurora venue and easily accessible from our Royal Mile venues via Johnston Terrace. The immersion space can be used for exhibition or performance installations or as a found space, for immersive performances or performance art. The studios are ideal for small-to-mid-size solo and smaller-cast theatre, physical theatre, spoken word, music poetry, storytelling, acoustic music, music theatre and cabaret.

Venue Programming

C ARTS is a home for international independent arts, at the Edinburgh Fringe and online. We programme across all artforms with an emphasis on new and dynamic work. Our curated season at C venues, showcasing new and classic theatre, physical theatre, musicals, opera, dance, circus, cabaret, spoken word, children's and family shows, film and video, visual and performance art, makes us one of the most vibrant and eclectic venue programmes on the Fringe. We have a track record programming site-specific, immersive, installation, interdisciplinary and multimedia work. Our in-person programme is mostly ticketed, with some pay-what-you-think shows and free events. Running alongside our main season, our events programme offers artists from across the Fringe opportunities to highlight their work and perform outside the box. Our year-round digital online programme, C digital, offers companies and artists the chance to make connections and build their international reach.
