About The Lemon Tree

The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen is a beloved live venue operated by Aberdeen Performing Arts. Opened in 1992 as the base venue for the city’s Alternative Festival, it remains a dynamic hub for music, comedy, theatre, and spoken word. With two main spaces—the Lounge (capacity 550, standing with just under 300 seated) and the Studio (capacity 166)—the venue can host a variety of performances, totaling around 716 seats across spaces. For fans and first-time visitors alike, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transport, and nearby stays and eats to make your night out seamless.

Getting to The Lemon Tree is convenient: a bus stop directly outside the venue serves Route No. 23, while Routes Nos. 16, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 26 stop on Broad Street nearby. The nearest railway station is Aberdeen, with convenient connections to the rest of Scotland. On-site and nearby parking options include Frederick Street, Marischal College, and the Gallowgate car parks. Wide-ranging events have featured notable acts such as Laura Marling, Idlewild, The Xcerts, Sarah Millican, Craig Campbell, and John Bishop.
