International Lounges

A space to relax, enjoy complimentary drinks and meet fellow festival-goers. Escape the hustle and bustle of a busy interval in our private space for Ambassador Circle members.

The International Lounge is open during intervals for performances at Edinburgh Playhouse, Festival Theatre, The Queen’s Hall and Usher Hall. For performances where there are no intervals we offer pre-performance lounges.

If you have any questions regarding your bookings, please do not hesitate to give our Box Office team a call on +44 (0)131 473 2000 (open 12–4pm Mon–Fri) or email [email protected].
