It was converted to its current role in 1979 and was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 6 July 1979.
The Queen's Hall offers a wide range of events to tempt you all year round - classical, jazz, blues, pop, rock, world, folk and comedy.
During the summer months we host events for the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival.
We can accommodate everyone from a string quartet or a full symphony orchestra, to a full touring rock band and still maintain the excellent natural acoustics of the Hall.
With our well-stocked bar open before and during all concerts, we'll quench your thirst and set you up for the great performance ahead.
