Edinburgh Fringe - Venue 43, 2026 (Amphitheatre) Second visit to the Symposium Hall (Venue 43) but this time in the main building rather than the Annex. Used the same ramped access to enter the building. Access to the Amphitheatre is via a lift. With my wheelchair, I was positioned in the front row. There was an accessible toilet at the venue.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There was a ramp to get into the building off to the left of the main entrance. There was a lift to take me to the Amphitheatre entrance. We were given early access to the Amphitheatre before other people.
Accessible facilities: Lift to all areas
Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled to this place by walk or wheel
We wheeled up from near the bottom of the Royal Mile. It is manageable incline if you choose your route. Some cobblestones in square the Hall is located on.
Accessible Toilets
Good
There were grab rails including one drop down. There was enough room for my wheelchair, myself and my carer to manoeuvre.
Facilities: Accessible toilet
Staff
Good
Helped us to the lift and guided us to our position for the show.
