The Assembly Rooms glitter grandly and have
two huge ballrooms.
At Hogmanay, we hold a different type of ceilidh simultaneously
in each! The Music Room Ballroom stays traditional
all night. Meanwhile, the Front Ballroom has a contemporary
ceilidh and it later morphs into a glam discotheque... until the great Scottish seasonal favourites return for 'The Bells' - Auld Lang Syne, Loch Lomond and more! Sumptuous historic Drawing Rooms become two VIP Lounges.
The Assembly Rooms, on George Street in the New Town, had a £10m refurb and is the city's largest, grandest venue. The foundation stone was laid in 1783 and the Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh is a fine event to grace an elegant building bequeathed to us by citizens of years past.
Our thanks to the hard-working Assembly Room team!
