This events venue is one of, if not the, most attractive and impressive in Edinburgh. I've had the pleasure of attending a number of different events here, including a wedding and a cocktail tasting night, and every time I'm taken aback by the height of the ceilings, the intracacy of the paintings on the walls, and the beauty of the lights draped all around the pulpit area. You really have to see it to fully understand what I'm talking about. It's truly stunning!

Jaw dropping....awe inspiring....versatile, soaring space....Mansfield Traquair has earned the mantel of “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel” and oh so much more. It’s so much more than unusual or special… it is absolutely unique. The remarkable conjunction of herculean labour on the part of the artist, the brilliant colour and the soaring spaces have led to the building being called “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel”. From the grand neo-Romanesque architecture, to the truly exquisite murals of Phoebe Anna Traquair that adorn the interior walls, its absolute grandeur and beauty have made Mansfield Traquair Edinburgh’s most spectacular, surprisingly versatile and flexible venue. Having undergone painstaking restoration to preserve and restore Mansfield Traquair to its former glory, it is now recognised as a vital piece of Edinburgh’s architectural and artistic heritage. Today, one of this utterly fabulous building’s most unique features is its sheer versatility. Events here are spectacular from the very second you arrive. You can’t fail to experience a sharp intake of breath when the cavernous spaces make their first impression. You’ll wonder at the intrigue and beauty of the murals, the magnitude of the stone, and the sheer majesty and sense of occasion will complete your descent into a state of adulation. Conveniently located at the eastern edge of Edinburgh’s New Town, the Mansfield Traquair Centre, fondly known as Mansfield Traquair, is ideally situated for most guests. However, brushing practicality aside, it is upon entering through the magnificent doors for the very first time that the impact of this venue makes its mark. Your guests will be astounded and intrigued by the wonder and majesty of “Edinburgh’s Sistine Chapel”, the inspirational Mansfield Traquair. Mansfield Traquair is the perfect wedding venue, private party or corporate event venue. Please contact us today to discuss your venue requirements in Edinburgh's capital.

A former Church now used as a wedding venue and offices. It contains murals painted by Pheobe Traquair. We'll worth a visit

Attended a party here recently. What a beautiful venue! High ceilings with incredible intricate paintings! Easily fit in our large amount of guests. Had a couple of bars set up with great selections of drinks. Easy to get to and plenty of room to sit/stand/dance. Good stuff.
