Venue layout and seating: The Exchange is the main space, offering flexible configurations to suit theatres, receptions, and concerts. The venue also features two smaller rooms: The Baron (Theatre 60; Reception 900) and The Newmarket Suite (Theatre 15; Reception 136). This gives you a range of capacities—from intimate showcases to larger headline events—depending on the production.

Parking and access: There is no dedicated on-site parking. Street parking is limited, with a drop-off point at the main entrance. A nearby rear parking facility is reported to offer roughly 300–350 spaces per third‑party sources, so plan ahead if you’re driving. For those taking transit, Slateford railway station is the nearest rail link, and multiple bus routes (4, 34, 35, 44, N33, 300) serve the area. Lothian Buses run frequent services between Waverley and Slateford, typically about 11 minutes by train between destinations, depending on your route.
