    Sharath Jeevan OBE – Meek Inheritance: Are Me and My Kids Doomed?

    In a world where AI threatens jobs and geopolitics grows ever more chaotic, this interactive comedic-therapeutic show offers sharp, hopeful insight. Sharath Jeevan OBE – a leading advisor and Founder of the Generational Success Lab at Oxford’s Said Business School – invites us to rethink what legacy truly means. Through confessional storytelling and crowd-work, he explores how his generation helped create a future bleaker than the present and how each of us can still chart a more meaningful path by reimagining how we choose to live now.

    WE ARE BACK FOR 2026

    This August, Panmure House opens its doors once again for the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This House is special because it once convened the great and good to commune together. This year, we invite you to do the same.

    As the ever-increasing work of Panmure House moves forward, and building on our 2025 programme, 2026 will see an increase in our Festival Fringe programming.

    This year we will host a series of interesting lectures and discussion on artificial intelligence, a special guided tour and Smith documentary experience as well as welcoming back Merryn Somerset Webb for their well-established panel show The Butcher, The Brewer, The Baker and Merryn Somerset Webb, all of which will make you laugh as well as think. A must for the Festival.

    For ticketing, show schedules, directions and more, please take a look at our Fringe FAQs. If you can't find the answer to your question here, get in touch with us directly via our CONTACT FORM.

    Located just opposite the Royal Mile Primary School, Lochend Close can be accessed via two openings on the street. This leads you out into a courtyard in which Panmure House is located directly ahead. A comprehensive set of directions can be found here, and throughout the Fringe-related web pages.

    Panmure House is equipped to allow for a comfortable experience for wheelchair users.

    The House has both an exterior* and interior lift as well as an accessible bathroom on our ground floor in the Interpretation Suite area.

    *If you require access into the venue via our exterior lift, the Team kindly ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to curtain up. This allows for setup in advance and prevents any delay to your Fringe at Panmure experience.

    Lochend Close is reserved for permit holders only and is heavily monitored by parking attendants. For this reason, we recommend parking at Holyrood Park [£1p/h] and taking the short walk up the mile to Panmure House. A comprehensive set of directions can be found here, including additional parking information.
    Please note that Panmure House will not be held liable for parking charges and/or towing in Lochend Close.

    Panmure House is a hub of enlightened research, debate and scholarship. At Panmure, we seek to continue the legacy of Adam Smith and his works - to do this, we host an array of events and academic programmes that draw upon the cultural relevance of Smith, and his home. Themes include economics, finance, social theory, ethics and the Scottish Enlightenment.

    We cannot make any scheduling changes to the Fringe show programme at Panmure House for any reason. Due to the layout of the venue, we are unable to admit latecomers. This is disruptive to the performers and other Fringe goers so please be aware that latecomers will be turned away from the venue.

    Unfortunately we are unable to offer refunds, unless a show has been cancelled by us. Please do contact us if there is an alternative show you are able to attend and we will transfer your ticket if it is possible to do so.
