WE'RE BACK
This August, Panmure House opens its doors once again for the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
We're bringing back some of your favourite shows including The Butcher, The Brewer, The Baker and Merryn Somerset Webb whilst introducing some new shows, with some familiar faces. Dominic Frisby presents How Heavy?, a brief history of weights and measures and how they have defined civilisation, while John Yule, author of 2019's The Invisible Hand returns to Panmure with the world premiere of Carnegie, a professionally-acted exploration of the life and legacy of one of history's richest men.
Panmure House is developing a reputation at the Fringe for theatrical and spoken word shows that investigate the cultural phenomena that define our time. Interested in history? Keen to have your opinion heard amongst controversial debate? Perhaps you want to delve deep into financial theories... but also be entertained? At this year's Fringe at Panmure, there's bound to be something for you.

We are situated just off the Royal Mile and within close proximity to the Scottish Parliament. Our address is Panmure House, 4 Lochend Close, Edinburgh, EH8 8BL. You can access us easily on foot or by public transport.
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.
7 August 2022 Update: The internal lift at Panmure House is currently out of service.
Panmure House is fully equipped to allow for a comfortable experience for wheelchair users.
The House has both an exterior* and interior lift as well as a disabled toilet on our Ground Floor in the Interpretation Suite area. The Panmure Team are fully trained in wheelchair evacuation and the equipment in the event of an emergency is situated on the second floor.
*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.
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.
