In 2019 the Pleasance mounted its most ambitious year on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with a programme of theatre, comedy, dance, children’s shows and circus that included 5,535 performances of 274 productions.

  • Vision 2019 Updating You on the Greyfriars Community
    Vision 2019 Updating you on the Greyfriars Community Welcome/Fáilte! It has been two years since the Greyfriars Review was first published. Much has been happening in the Greyfriars community and therefore there is a lot to report! ‘Vision 2019’ aims to give you an update on what we have been doing and to outline future plans. Worship, the arts and community outreach are centered at our three locations – Greyfriars Kirk (GK), the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) and the Greyfriars Charteris Centre (GCC). They are managed independently, but key members are common to all three organisations so the Greyfriars ethos and ideals are maintained. With enlarged teams, we are taking on more work and responsibilities within the parish and wider community. As with any organisation we are very dependent on our dedicated members, congregation, volunteers and staff to make things happen and are therefore very grateful to them all. We welcome new faces to be part of our community and if you would like to get involved, we will find a place for you.

  • The University of Edinburgh Heritage Trail Welcome
    THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH HERITAGE TRAIL WELCOME Since its foundation in 1583 the University of Edinburgh has been strongly linked to the city itself. Today the University’s iconic buildings form part of the historic fabric of the city, and represent a key element of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site. It was in 1995 that the Old and the New Towns of Edinburgh were inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, recognising the unique quality and contrast in architecture between the two sides of the city. The University’s buildings reflect that historical and architectural importance, and were often at the centre of events in Edinburgh’s and Scotland’s history. Many famous and distinguished people have also been associated with the University, including scientists Charles Darwin and Joseph Black, authors Sir Walter Scott, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson, and pioneers for women in medicine Sophia Jex-Blake and Elsie Inglis. Use this trail to guide you around some of the most significant buildings on the University of Edinburgh’s campus, explore the city’s unique built heritage and discover the hidden history behind its stone facades. Historical images courtesy of the University of Edinburgh Special Collections, except where otherwise stated OtherOther places places to explore…… to explore a) The Pleasance – a complex built 1925–1938 for the Pleasance Trust, incorporating an older Quakers Hall and graveyard, and now a student union and major Festival Fringe venue. b) Chisholm House – built in 1764 and typical of the surgeons’ houses that would once have occupied the square.
