Venue 24: Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose

Gilded Balloon logo. Credit: Gilded Balloon

With 7 accessible performance theatres and a stunning large bar and event space, Patter Hoose quickly became the must-visit venue at the festival following its launch in 2019. This fabulously pink venue hub is situated across the road from the Museum on Chambers Street, just a stone's-throw away from Teviot and Bristo Square.
