Welcome back King’s Theatre! We’re delighted to have supported Edinburgh’s historic and much-loved venue, helping to transform the heritage building ready for its next chapter 🙌

Today, Edinburgh's beloved King's Theatre opens its doors for the the first time since its redevelopment began in 2023.

For over a century the King's has been a place for the people of Edinburgh to come together to laugh, to cry, to celebrate and to be inspired, often known by locals as the 'People's Theatre'. Today we're opening the doors not just to a beautifully restored theatre, but to a building that truly lives up to that name.

In this major redevelopment the historic venue has been reshaped for audiences, artists and communities across Edinburgh, becoming one of the UK's most accessible heritage buildings.

So, let's raise a glass to our Grand Old Lady of Leven Street!🥂

Do you want to elevate the audience experience at your theatre? 🎭

The magic of the theatre stage relies heavily on engaging and intelligible audio. However, investing in high-quality sound equipment and PA systems can be a significant financial burden for many venues.

Fortunately, there are various funding opportunities and capital grants available to help UK theatres access the resources needed to invest in industry-standard audio equipment to upgrade their technical infrastructure.
