Step away from the bustle of the Royal Mile and into the atmospheric Victorian townhouse that is the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre (25 Palmerston Place, EH12 5AP – just a short walk from Haymarket Station).
This August we’re proud to host a carefully chosen programme of intimate, high-quality shows. Whether you’re in the mood for wonder, laughter, piano, mystery or ghost stories, we’ve got something special for you.
What’s On
The Conjuring Coach Cabaret & Variety Back for a second year! Neal Hyams delivers an hour of mind-bending math-magic, mentalism, ropes, cards and pure wonder. Fast-paced, immersive and unforgettable.
Adele Birkmyre: Total Chaos Comedy A naturally funny local lassie who simply lets loose. Guaranteed belly laughs from a comedian who started performing after her daughters bought her a comedy course as a birthday present. Pure, relatable chaos.
Rhapsody in Chicago Blues Music Pianist Tim Barton (SoundZChicago) presents an elegant new programme featuring an Ellington medley, Chicago blues, Chopin, Brahms, original jazz and ragtime. A beautiful, restorative hour in a stunning 19th-century setting.
Sherlock Holmes: The Death and Life Theatre A witty one-man fantasy in which Arthur Conan Doyle tries to kill off his arrogant creation… only for Holmes to refuse to leave the stage. Light-hearted, intriguing and perfect for fans of the great detective.
Tales of Haunted Edinburgh Spoken Word Psychic and storyteller Ewan Irvine takes you deep into the city’s darkest corners — from the House of Horrors in West Bow to the restless spirits of Greyfriars Kirkyard. True tales of murder, mystery and the supernatural. Dare to listen?
