St Andrew’s & St George’s Parish Church

Not so much a review of the church, but the Undercroft which is a space for rent.
As I’m special (dietary) needs (GF), our local Coeliac group meets here every few months and they hire the Undercroft for our meetings. I think it is used for other charity and community meetings but it has recently had a bit of work done.
There are full kitchen facilities, also multiple rooms for hire — we sometimes have two in use and there are now more added toilet facilities. I think to hire the undercroft it is about £80 for the room with the kitchen for a Saturday afternoon and then £40 for the hire of the extra room.
It can be hard to find meeting space in the centre of town, especially that offers catering facilities (DIY), plenty of chairs and tables. I’m not sure whether IT or AV equipment can be hired but this is worth asking about as I am sure there must be something on offer. I think the main room we have with the kitchen and tea/​coffee machines just off it can take about 80 – 100 so cost for this volume of people is great given Edinburgh prices!
A great wee place for meetings.

I’ve mentioned this before, I’ll mention it now. A little disclaimer, as it were. I’m not religious. Quite the opposite it. Don’t worry, I won’t go into a Dawkins-​esque secular rant just now (you can send me a message if you want one of those), but just take it as read I’m an athiest. Why am I reviewing a church then?
Well, I went to see a friend performing an opera in here (yeah I’m well cultured). It was actually very good too, called ‘Opera Sins’ — it had seven scenes, each from a different opera representing a different sin. Worth watching.
But it was made that bit better by the venue. It’s only a small church, but it has a magnificent feeling of space inside. The ceiling is beautiful too — not over elaborate, but decorative enough to be impressive. So if you’re are a worshipper (nothing against you) may be worth a look. If not, try and catch a show there, it’s well worth the visit.
