March 2025We held an event there, from booking to tying up the staff made everything very easy. Lovely space for a music event!

February 2025I booked the Binks Hall for a party for my partners 40th birthday. The staff were excellent on the day and in the build up and the hall was beautiful and excellent for our needs. Definitely recommend it as an affordable and central venue in Edinburgh.

February 2025We had a cracking cèilidh in the Binks Hall at Greyfriars Charteris! Top notch facilities; and the team were fantastic both in the run up and on the night (with a special shout-out to duty manager David for being so helpful and accommodating during the event). The hall was warm and welcoming; the acoustics good; the space flexible; and all the guests had a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!
