The world-famous Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) is a unique sanctuary where truly magical events flourish. Set in 70 acres of abundant gardens, it commands panoramic views of the city skyline including Edinburgh Castle. Just a mile north of the city centre, it's a treasure trove of natural wonders dating back more than 350 years.
What's more, RBGE offers plenty of indoor and outdoor options to showcase your dream event at any time of year. Located on the West Side of the Garden, the John Hope Gateway is a sustainable space for hosting evening receptions and dinners, with the nearby biodiversity garden providing a tranquil backdrop to the main outdoor terrace area.
The giant redwood trees of the John Muir Grove frame a uniquely inspiring location for outdoor wedding ceremonies. With its waterfalls and rock garden, the high-ceilinged Caledonian Hall provides a tranquil oasis of calm and seclusion that's ideal for weddings and evening dinner receptions.
RGBE is also a great place to do business. The Patrick Geddes Room is a bright, modern space for hosting conferences or meetings, with full access to the Garden as the ultimate lunch or breakout space.
