Venue Description

Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival plays host to the finest jazz and blues talent from all corners of the globe. From bop to boogie-woogie to blues-rock, from samba to swing to soul, there's something to suit every mood and musical taste over ten groove-packed summer days. Plus look out for the free open air Mardi Gras and Edinburgh Festival Carnival events. The Rose Theatre's intimate auditorium is set to become a favourite Festival venue with reserved seating, excellent sightlines and great sound. Located at the west end of Rose Street it was formerly The Charlotte Baptist Chapel. A horseshoe shaped auditorium with comfortable seats and pews frames an area of flat floor seating facing a raised stage. There is a bar at street level. The auditorium is located on the second floor with access via stairs. Doors: 30 minutes prior to performance start.

Accessibility

Unfortunately, as the newly refurbished Rose Theatre is a listed building, it has not been updated to include accessible features such as ramps, railings or accessible toilets. The auditorium itself is up two flights of stairs and as a result may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or those who have trouble climbing several stairs. We widely advertise online that this venue is not accessible and do not accept wheelchair bookings for events in this space.
