96 George Street is the Freemasons Hall built during 1911 – 1912 to serve as the Grand Lodge of Scotland. It is a beautiful building lavishly decorated.
We adapt the building for theatrical purposes during the Fringe while retaining the essence of its history, beauty and magnificence. Situated 300 meters from the Assembly Rooms and 300 meters from the International Book Festival, it is ideally placed for a fringe venue.
