Venue Hire
“St Mark's is a wonderful, intimate chamber music venue with outstanding acoustics. Its location in central Edinburgh close to the major large scale theatres and concert hall adds to its appeal.
The venue - St Mark's Unitarian Church on Castle Terrace - was totally compatible with the intimacy of the occasion. The appreciative audience thrilled to the warm ambience of the building.
Interfaith in Edinburgh would be poorer if it wasn't for the support and house space which St Mark's gave it in the early years. It has played a pioneering role in the growth of interfaith activity in Edinburgh, it is to it's credit that less rather than more such activity occurs there now.
